Thanks for the input Doc!
Thanks to OJ on the saddle!!
That thing is glowing! The bag was off eBay. Not sure of the “M.Rufous” or whatever it is name brand: maybe it’s popular in India where the bag came from! All I know is, the green leather looked cool online!
I had to laugh, The painters tape I used for masking was on for sometime and also did not react well with the sun and outdoor use.
There was all sorts of lines and adhesive residue left behind from baking in the sun I guess.
There were also a few spots of overspray that crept through, and I have no idea how that happened!!!
In desperation I hit the thing with some goo-gone; the adhesive and overspray came off effortlessly and the seat was glowing with this rich patina…. I was like; “what the ….. ?”
Finally on your chrome spray paint, I must confess, without question, the best results I have ever had with a “chrome” paint.
This is definitely not the stuff we had as kids !!!!
Just big-box rust oleum metallic. I don’t think I’ll ever use any other brand.
-got it as a Father’s Day gift from baby Jude #3!
