Finally riding a big boys bike
My 51 Schwinn that was yard art project
All did not go to plan. I tried to remove just the spray paint but whatever they used adhered very well to the base.
So I ended up stripping the bike completely checking the brazing and than prepping and painting. It is not done though I still have to hit the front fender and wet sand and clear. Also I still have some touchups to fix with the wet sanding the the original color on the frame was green.
So in this spot there is supposed to be a picture of the stripped frame yet the forum would not allow the size of file. So it was chemically stripped than primed.
Some progress being made primer done and sanded base for Schwinn marks done.
I may respray the guard I don't like how it turned out the green looks good though.
