Building Beryl...

[Saving Tempest]

I musn't forget the really nice NOS Wald kickstand that came from Vintage Paintworx, it too is all that!

 

[Saving Tempest]

I picked a really nice metallic green with a slight hint of blue, meets my definition of an emerald's color, the frustrating thing is that I can't pull up a reference from the quote sheet NAPA Auto Parts here gave me.

It's from part number PT53A, Martin Senour paint formula 54432, it's a beautiful color, believe me.

The next problem is that I haven't found a paint sprayer, a friend had a Wagner power roller but not the sprayer. I'll have to see what the rental cost would be from our local hardware store...or ask the sign shop to help. I'd love to finish the job in time for my birthday on June 26, that would also be 5 years after I finished all but mounting the fenders on Tempest and that was the basis for finishing part 4 of my You Tube short series Tempest The Grey Bike Grows Up (as steadfastcoward) in 2012, just before I had a bad episode with medication and spent a month hospitalized and getting the meds changed (during the time of the 2012 Olympics no less).

Why not have the jobber put it in a spray can for you? This is usually $25-30 but would be a lot easier and cheaper than a gun/compressor. V/r Shawn

I've had too many cans just quit and never really start again to spend that much. Don't want a can this time. Remember that a pint is about $30.

THANK YOU BRUCE CRAWFORD!!!!

 

[Saving Tempest]

More good news...I believe I found someone to properly paint Beryl.

 

[Saving Tempest]

The painting is a definite GO! and those of you who are selling my parts, the payments will be sent tomorrow or Friday and I'll notify you once they are sent.

I'm one happy overstuffed boy!

Another big thank you to Bruce Crawford, tis time it's the EAGLE on the chainguard!

 

[Saving Tempest]

It sold a couple or three weeks ago.

That isn't going to be fast or easy I suppose.
