I need another bike like I could use a hole in my head. LOL I don't need another bike. but I am finding parts for one.
Schwinn fair lady. so far I have frame, fork, head set, seat, handlebars and crank set up. . I have a 3 arrow sprocket stashed some were along with cranks, stem pad. but sill need a stem , pedals, and wheels. may keep it coaster or add a hand / caliper brake.

 

[Slow-Rider]

wheels are either going to be old chrome. with thick over sized dirt bike motor cycle style thick fat spokes , laced to a coaster brake hub. or moto mags. depends on price to own them.

Keeping it out of the sunlight when curing should help eliminate those wrinkles.

OH OK it only happened when next coat was sprayed. but you saying heat from sun makes the paint oils separate?
