I used an automotive etching primer. Duplicolor red oxide rattle can, then I used flat black engine enamel. All rattle can. It covers well and is durable.
I managed to make some progress this weekend. I put in the crank and chainwheel and test fitted the handlebars.
I'll probably change the handlebars, don't care for them.
So I put on the cut down chainguard. I think it will work. Just like the salt flats.
Nice cuts on the bars. 8)
Good line and angle.
I gave away a pair to my neighbor and now...
I might have to steal this one for him.
Grips look good too.
