This is a rebuild and repaint of the bike formerly known as the Orange peel In this post I will walk you thru what I did to get where I am to completion. I hope you enjoy
this is what the bike looked like as the Orange Peel.
First I cleaned and sanded down the frame and then primed it and let it hang over night.
LOL don't mind the crap in the back , its just some of the Christmas decorations that litter the yard each year .
I then painted the Frame a flat black then coated it with a metal flake, then cleared the frame.
I then got curiouse as to how it was gonna look on wheels, regretfully I don't have a back wheel right now , on order from Lynn's . So I borrowed the mongoose forks and put them on with the handle bars and seat to get an idea.
After that I wanted to work on the tank. A month ago I painted a Batavus moped tank and it came out very nice I thought.
