Thanks, it's always fun finding cool backdrops around Savannah. I've been using that one since VerBoten 5 years ago.
Could you pm me some more pics of the diner the next time you go out that way? An old friend from the airlines and I used to travel the country for different hobbies. First it was aircraft museums and then it became railroad museums. After a while we discovered railroad and trolley car diners. We then sought out these diners and would drive hundreds of miles out of our way just to eat in one.
This memory popped up. It was 5 years ago today that I received my "Bully" purchase from bighit. This is the frame that I am using for SteamRoller.
Maybe try a darker primer, that way the blue has a darker base to sit on. I noticed when I did my wife’s bike with red, it was more of a light red till I used a dark gray primer and the red was RED. Just a thought. Bike looks awesome!!! here’s the red after the darker primer.
That blue was a test color that I decided not to use. I decided to go with Metallic Silver on the inside of the bike and Coppertone-ish color on the outside. First I will paint the entire bike Metallic Silver. That is why I went with a gray primer. Here are the paint colors on my testbed fender (not part of the bike).
Well there ya go, right on awesome choice
No pics, but I got a lot done tonight after work. I managed to finish sanding all of the primed parts with 500 grit. So everything is ready for the first coat of paint.
I MAY HAVE TO GET SOME 500 GRIT. I'M ONTO PAINTING MY BIKE ALSO THEN REASSEMBLING. DOO DADS COME LAST.

Silver going down first right? What will you use for a primer, grey?
If the silver ends up being kind of the color of mercury, here's a poem to paint by:
Poor Little Willy , thirsty as could be,
But what he thought was H2O was HGNO3.
It was a chilly day for Willy when the mercury went down.

Got the first coat of metallic silver on the frame and other parts of SteamRoller after work. Coppertone-ish color to come later. Metallic Carbon Mist on a few other parts. Got everything inside from my Urban Paint Booth just before the bottom dropped out. Now the parts are hanging inside to dry on my Bed Bath and Beyond towel rod paint dryer.
Primed and sanded parts ready for paint in the UPB.
Rustoleum Metallic Silver on some parts
Rustoleum Metallic Carbon Mist on some parts (not quite sure if the sissy bar fork will stay this color or not).
Paint drying time on the BBBTRPD
Metallic Silver on the frame
Then the thunder popped and the rain rolled in. I got the frame hanging inside before the rain, but got wet as I was breaking down the UPB
