UPDATE.....
I sprayed the frame today with what Rust-Oleum calls "Chestnut Brown" with a "Khaki" fade at the neck!!! As always the color selection was not as anticipated. The brown I was expecting a darker/vintage shade. The khaki was expecting lighter. It looks like a chocolate bar with caramel!!! I'm not displeased, New paint is new paint!!! 48 hour cure time before clear. I'll use that time to strip and prep the fenders, chain guard, etc.... Everything else will be brown except the rear rack will be that khaki. I may attempt a khaki stripe on the chainguard similar to the existing stripe. The chrome pieces on the springer I was able to remove the rust but it is still a little pitted. I'm considering painting those black but haven't decided yet.
I disassembled the springer today and wasn't as bad as I thought. I was expecting those springs to be under greater compression and difficult to work with. I just hope I can reassembled everything!!! I took pictures of everything I did along the way!!!
WOW, there was alot of OG paint that would have cleaned up with 0000 wool & WD or even a oxy bath!, a little to quick with the spray can, if you were going to sell it the value really took a drop! Edit, sorry just my opinion, big mistake, only OG once and alot of people would have loved to own a og CWC motor/Whizzer frame.
No worries.... that seems to be the culture in here and I am always open to critique. The frame perhaps could have been cleaned, but the fenders and chainguard had a lot of caked on rust. I had posted previously whether or not to paint over an original. Had it been in better shape I probably wouldn't have but I really do not have a feel for what is salvageable. I wasn't event considering resale value as much as just having some creative fun. Sacrilegious lol? Thanks for sharing your feedback!!!
