1936 Elgin Bluebird - Progress!

[Velocipedist Co.]

Yes generally. Depending on what kind of base medium your using you can chose one that mixes well. PM me if you want sometime. I used to do ceramics restoration where color/texture/level of gloss match was critical. There are a couple ways to do it. I would often get the final finish by knocking of the excess shine of the final with superfine sponge.

Thanks!

I saw it when Tyler had it and I would never guess that it's the same bike. As everyone else has pointed out, the patina is dead on!
Incredible job!
