Cruisin' on my Bluebird
hey guys
i recently purchased this rocket. It is all there in terms of pieces [ not sure about the seat ] and i love it. I actually put it together last night and aired up the what i think are orig tires and gave it a ride. Was pretty comfy even with everything old/grimy and not tightened properly.
so a quick question, I have read through all of the member's posts regarding trying to recover the next layer of paint and then clear coating once you have gotten there, but has any one seen such an extensive sun fading before?
i have to take some proper pictures in the sun, but here was the forsale pic
and then this is the maroon under the kickstand. I am pretty sure it was not repainted because the tops of the fenders show maroon where they are covered and the back of the rack is also a transition [ sort of a pain missing link ] of the brownish orange you see to a deeper red/pink to the maroonish red it is supposed to be with no flaking of paint. I will post better pics eventually.
so like i mentioned earlier, has anyone seen this level of fading? and do you think it is recoverable?
