This is my Re-Run! Few years back, about 4, I built a cruiser. I loved it. Then Like an Idiot I sold it...
Here is the new Green hornet Build!
The Bike: Vintage 1972 Schwinn with OG Springer
Note: The Idiot before me decided to paint the ENTIRE bike with an oil based household paint hiding the OEM Green It was time to strip it!
Upon $50 purchase day:
UGLY!
Got home and IMMEDIATELY stripped her down. After copious amounts of Paint Stripper, the oil base was off. After about 4 hours of HAND sanding with 100 gritt, moving to 220, then to 400 here she sat:
PURTY
THe Forks after Sanding, Bead Blasting, Primer, Sanding, Base coat, Wet Sand then 2 more coats followed with Clear and a wet sand session of 1500 and 2000
