Milk Bike , Patina or Paint ?

I have had this 24 inch skiptooth Hawthorne awhile now and I just picked up some bars from a metal pile in my buddies back yard (stingray none the less) now to lube up the coaster brake and make it stop ( sounds like an oxymoron) still needs to be striped.[img]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg195/holyrollin72/dadsbday078.jpg[/img][img]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg195/holyrollin72/S7301218.jpg[/img][img]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg195/holyrollin72/S7301219.jpg[/img]

After riding this around yesterday I was thinking.....should I paint this thing or leave er the way she is. What do you think :? :?

I like it the way it is!

Nice tires too!!

I would say keep the bike as-is, maybe just paint black scallops on the fenders to match the rims. Something small to tie in the rim/tire color.

That would probably look really nice!!
