I laugh when I hear people talk about humidity. 
Good luck with the painting.

Yea, I don't miss southern humidity. I don't feel like I'm melting up here, but it still sucks.I laugh when I hear people talk about humidity.

Well you got the frame done, and I absolutely love that color.

It's growing on me, but I'm beginning to wonder how the red will look with the other color I'm thinking.

Since most of the chrome is in bad shape, we decided to paint it.
The color choice for that is Rust-Oleum antique brass metallic.
It'll be used on the rims, bars, stem, crank arm and the nuts and bolts.

The color of that spring looks like "instant" patina. That's going to match the red nicely! I would've used that on my build instead of red primer. Better weathered look.
Note to self: Calm down..you are not painting that scooter over..NO

Thanks.
When I finally realized he wanted an old looking red, not orange. I instantly thought the accents should be an aged bronze or brass color.
I think it'll all look good together.
Nice color choice for the hardware! I looked at some of those antique Rusto colors last time I was in HD. Spring turned out well.
And in the pic with the door open, it looks like the sun might be shining on you today. That's always a good thing. Especially on 'paint day'.

90° with 95° humidity, it rained. But the sun was out a bit.
Just trying to get this thing done by Friday.
I like the metal colors Rust-Oleum has, I saw a pewter color. Might have to try that one day.
I like the paint selection man. I'm gonna have to check out that antique brass metallic sometime.

I like going to Menards and digging through the paint section, lots of cool new colors.

Yea, unfortunately there's no pill to make bike builds finish on time.
I'm actually more bummed about not getting to finish evolution flyer, but this build did teach me something...
I don't build for other people.
This was the first and last time.
I never did...Never will. Your better off building a bike YOU like...then sell it afterwards.
Have a relaxing vacation!

Yea, I've tried that. Still trying.
People think things are cool, but don't want to buy them.
I'll be living island life starting Saturday, nothing but relaxation.
Enjoy the vacay! Let us know if you post the progress in the Builds section, or just keep this thread going. *I'm old, and don't always pay attention*

This build will probably stay here.Enjoy the vacay! Let us know if you post the progress in the Builds section, or just keep this thread going. *I'm old, and don't always pay attention*
Evolution Flyer will be moved to the build thread. I'll get back to work on it after this is finished, then I can also finish Mercury Rising... One day I might even finish Rebels Cause, who knows.
My hobbies are changing to home built boats and primitive weapons and archery, might be a while for two of those bikes. But still planning to finish the hubless build by spring.
