it has begun...

I was finally able to pick up my old cruiser...basic black.. Taiwan Schwinn...stripped it prepped it and rustoleum rattle canned it with "radiant brass" makes a nice textured finish...adding a little antiquing to give the old look and some copper metallic for accents...going for a steampunk look eventually...

Thanks man... for my first one I'm happy...not sure how long the frame is gonna hold up though...shoty welds + 220 lbs + 25mph = bout a month
I like the bare metal look too...this sorta has that from 30ft away...Its been fun adding the patina...put some old tunes on and start painting on the years...this is an apartment build so a bit limited as to what I can do without whizzin off the neighbors...
