Dealing With Pitting

[Obi-Wan Schwinnobi]

If you want an authentic, period correct repaint, you leave the bike together, and use housepaint and a brush and paint the whole thing.

I mean, that's how it was done in the '50's.

For a moment I was having a wtf moment but then i got it haha

Folks can remove that stuff off all they want, but it only took me a section of fender you could cover with a dollar bill to realize the only way to remove house paint is media blast it and start over! Opinions vary.....

I would hav3 to agree with you. Doing it by hand has taken up some valuable time thus far. Le sigh.

It turns out the last guy I called to come to despise house paint, really only disliked it a little bit. I hope you can do a much better job, or I'm not paying you!

There IS a big difference between house paint and rattle can paint. I've seen bikes with both and prefer the house painted bikes with the cool brush lines, runs and sags.
