1938 Colson Project

[Monarky]

Hello fellow CABER's.......just started on my next project (38 Colson) and this is what I started with. The original paint was gone and had been lightly rattle bombed in some blue paint by the prior owner.

. I'm thinking of going bare metal and will keep you all updated with my project as time goes on. Monarky

Started stripping the rattle can paint over the weekend and coming down to the bare metal. I'm liking the silver and brazing colors so far. Here is what she looks like now.

. Let me know what you guys think before I shoot the matte clear over it. Monarky

A different look, funky but sheik. I say, go for it.

Lookin good! I like the contrast between the steel tubes and brass that sticks them together. Looking forward to progress updates

I dig it. I would also dig it if you painted some darts on it with pinstriping and left the rest of the frame bare metal.

Hey Joe, now you are talking...that's what I had in mind over the bare metal. First I'm going to matte clear the frame to make it Look aged and dull and after put some pinstripes. I will keep you all updated with my progress. Monarky

Very nice!

Everyone knows I'm a big fan of bare metal bikes. It really works for that bike. Can't wait to see it done. Rob.

Are you going to leave the fenders red?... that would be a nice contrast!

Hi Obi-Wan Schwinnobi, yes I plan on leaving the fenders with the original paint scheme on as I also liked the contrast and all I'm doing is cleaning the parts up. I also have the original matching maroon rims with the white pinstrips, thanks to Stoney.
