Default Paint is fun & Easy

This is the Schwinn. I use tape to define the lines, just think about what would work. Then lay down each colour. Have fun Dave
PS: What do you think the Happy Time or the Whizzer?

I like the Chinaco bike much better than the Whizzer.

Thats what I think, it needs stripes of something. It is my bosses bike, if I do something nice maybe I will get a raise. I got a few rattle cans to do the Pacific I need to think of a paint scheme. I love to paint, but not sand and fill, I need to get past that. Have fun, Dave
PS: I need to make a custom tank for the Green Hornet, I want to do a fiberglass one. I would like to make it so it would fit on a few bikes and look good.

I think everyone has that problem too, I do and its part of what i do for a living. Just remember that the key to a good finish is the prep work(sanding fill).

Jemma - Actually that is a pipe I made form electrical conduit, I bent it with a pipe bender and painted it with stainless steel paint it has held up pretty good. At the end I turned it out and then cut it off long and filed it to look like a fish tail, the only bad thing it is a little loud, I stuffed some steel wool in for a baffle but it is still loud, but fun. Have fun, Dave
