Western Flyer Badge Repop

[udallcustombikes]

I am recreating my dad's first bike as a gift for his birthday.

Jezusjonz has made me a new Western Flyer headbadge for the bike, but I am wondering about the coloring on the badge.

Here is the only pic I have found of one with any paint left on it, but there isn't enough to copy it.

All the ones I recall seeing had red, white, & black on them. Check the Cabe photo archive, and Nostalgic Net! -Adam

i would do everything in black but Western Flyer in white. i wouldnt try to copy that anyway, it looks like someone tried to re-do it a long time ago.

I found this on nostalgic.net. I think it gives me enough to work with.

Nice work. The badge that jezusjones did is very accurate and your paint work is a perfect match.

I love having girls with lots of nail polish.

Even better as you didnt' have to buy paint.
