Rusty rat up-date

outsider13 · Jul 30, 2007

after folding the rear rim going off the curb, I decided to put a new rear rim on my Rust Bucket Rat, so I pick up a new one ...but it was tooo bright for the Rusty Rat,... so brake-out the tape and let the painting begin very suttle ,..just the spokes and part of the hub. BUT I could not stop there new..[old] banana seat found in the park..[literally] an actual Schwinn sissy bar ..[YES its stamped Schwinn] painted "Clothespin "n"" way and Voila! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

:shock:

:shock:

Nice job... something new and different. I bet that was a lot of taping.

Its actually a sprocket cover, I painted the solid sprocket primer dark grey thenput the cover over it :shock: 8)

cman..YES that was a lot of tapeing and a hole punch and scissors..:cut about 2" chunk of WIDE tape; punch hole in center, snip w/ scissors wrap around spoke place on rim....I use cheap wide masking tape..Wrong idea [use good stuff the blue painters tape] ...It took me a very long time taking that CRA....er...cheap tape off then the gue residue..my advice don't skimp on tape..or paint for that matter
