Watching paint dry to see what two tone or patina job you are working on.

Here's the start of my Battery can it was full of tea that my wife had .
Stole it then I epoxied another
tin can lid over the end label sanded off the paint and here we are .
Still need to put in switch wire it and paint it .

First paint job going to change it up a bit though satin black satin white so far .
Just the right amount of sheen not to shiny not to flat .

 

[OddJob]

Very unique look on the paint! You nailed the 'satin' look for sure.

Are those white details I spy on the planes of the fork? Lovely

 

[léocwc]

Looking good!

Judging by your other bikes this is one to keep an eye on.

Thanks guys here's some shots of my combo speedo headlight tail light and battery can
It's gonna look loud and proud framed by those mini apes .
I 'm using the Bontrager bottle cage mounts to attach my headlight and battery can .
Also has been converted to led bulbs high and low beam .
The straps on the headlight are stainless repurposed off a rear rack I had kickin around .
Tail light is nos cat eye

 

[kingfish254]

Any updates?

 

[bleedingfingers]

Still doing some tweaking but it's getting there spending to much time watching all the other great builds . Things are really starting to take shape out there glad I didn't build a klunker or a strandy
as there are some beauty's and a lot of great paint jobs .

Heres a couple of shots still lots of adjusting to do and still might touch the paint up a little

 

[MattiThundrrr]

You're killing me with the partial pictures, show the whole thing already!

Hey Brett, You Lucky guy finding a Zephyr frame in the first place and then building such a clean classy ride.
“I’d Ride That”
I’ve been hoping to stumble upon a headlight speedo combo one day and that one is sweeeet, and that saddle of yours...Nice.
Oh...the Magna tear drop peddles from your Hercules arrived safe and sound today and they are awesome.
I’m so happy to finally have a set and not get dinged in exchange, extra shipping fees and possible import charges.
Thank You, Dan
