BO15 Ratfink Supreme - Back From The Dead !

Great job on the patina and tires wish I had a steady enough had for that.

Killer work on the tires!!!!
Smart and good fauxtina testing on the scrap pieces.

Experimenting with paint colors think I nailed down some good matches.
Shot the color on some old bars and did a little testing with faux patina.

Also highlighted the super cool good year tires.

Paint test looks very good! and the line work on the tires came out very well, tedious work!

Sneak peek, went on a 2am test ride the other night. Had to replace the worn-out rear cog with a back up I had. After that it road smooth as butter no rubbing or clicking.

That's a beautiful 2 a.m. shot.

Ripped the whole bike apart again, so I could start painting.

Seat pans shot in black satin.

Filled the extra holes with JB weld, sanded it down after it dried.

Well I have to admit it looks better then the bare metal, the lights in the garage make the paint seem brighter. It actually matches really well.

Sound's like my project . Build , then dissemble and enhance then rebuild .
Then do it all over again .

Ya I was kinda dragging my feet a little, but I got invigorated after I found a part I've been hunting for. Can't wait to see her all done now !

Build is looking great so far. Can't wait to see the final product.

Started on the fender darts and pin strips, and I've gotta give credit were credit is due. I don't have the hands for this kind of work so I had to ask for help from a 30 year long career artist for this

Finished up all the fender details and shot it with the last bit of paint.

Got some fun accessories in the mail to finish up the build.

The faux patina turned out great after all the weathering.

The faux tina is cooler than cool! So my real question is , tell us how you went from this:

To this ? Give us some details on the process please. What was the tape you used to wrap the fender? Did you paint white on part of that, then red? How were the black outlines on the darts made? How did you do "all the weathering" ?

Lotta nice details, Scrib. I could stare at that kickstand for a while. Any information on it?

I'll make a video explaing the whole process, I kinda forgot to take detailed photos of the whole thing.

Here's a short vid explaining the process I did on that faux patina.
