That looks amazing, I dare you to list it for sale with "New Paint Job" in the ad and close up photos and get ready for hate e-mail from people who just don't understand.

Re: ====~THE FAIRBANK FLYER~====

That "rust" paint is really cool. It looks like, uh...well, rust!

Thank you.I'm pleased with how it's looking so far.The more old looking the better, but this way doesn't hurt the bicycle at all, but you still get the same look.

I have been painting the frame a bit tonight and have nearly finished.So i'll get pictures up of that asap.I have also blacked in the logos on the Fat Franks, they look so much better.

Thanks a lot Tom.It takes a while to build up all the layers, but it's worth it I think.I'll get the frame pics up soon, stay tuned.

Cheers Mr Kingfish

Few pictures from yesterdays painting the frame.

Couple from today in the daylight.

I also gave the handle bars and chainring a light scuffing with the sandpaper and wirewool.Getting them ready for painting up.Handle bars will also need cutting down a little but i'll need to see in on the frame first to get the right length.

Yeah, you better not take too long before you clearcoat that. It may get too rusty on you.
