The Female Rat

Just took off the top layer of nasty paint, put on some cream wheels, old black wall tires & an old light from another bike. Oh and of course a seat. Calling it done!!

Sweet!!! :mrgreen:

Cool. Looks like removing that paint would have been a lot of work. Like cream wheels.
Glad no one was bathing at the time you took the pic

That cleaned up nicely. What did you use to take the paint off?

 

[TJK]

Gonna re-seal the paint?

 

[jtdaddy]

Is that really the same bike? What was the brown stuff all over it before? And yeah, what did you do to take the old nasty stuff off without killing what's underneath? It's really the same bike? :wink:

 

[MaXXXwell]

Nicely done :mrgreen: That's restoring :idea:

 

[rusty513]

I used clear pvc pipe cleaner to remove the paint.

 

[jtdaddy]

Were you high for several weeks after? Doesnt that stuff let off some serious fumes? Plus, did it take a little can or a big can? Cause I want to try it. I can't imagine the smell though. Then if someone lit a match, poof.. :lol: There goes the garage. Am I right? So you just slather it on? Just like that and spray it off? I guess I'm suprised because I never would of thought of pipe cleaner. Pipe cleaner!

Just wipe it on & wipe it off. My dad's a plumber so he's the one that had the great idea. The smells no worse than the entire house smelling like paint & clear coat. I need to air out the house before my wife gets home, ha ha!!!
