WOW! Love the green and patina. I thought it was a complete rust bucket. Good work!

not sure of the brand but it works wonders. I recommend saving as much as you can of anything. don't leave it on for to long or it will kill the paint test it for about (5 minutes) if its doing its job leave it on for (30-45 minutes) each time you apply it. here is the pattern we did. naval jelly sit for (30 minutes) rinse with water always after using or it could still eat away at the paint, then after I washed the jelly off i steel wooled a little then rinsed again. and repeat. make sure to watch how much is coming off I took a few places off down to primer so watch it.

Do you just brush the naval jelly on the whole frame? Is there a certain brand you like which doesn't damage paint? It's the one thing I haven't added to my arsenal yet.

I kind of had a feeling it was under there. I guess im just crazy for thinking there was original paint under rust.

Would never of guessed there would've any paint under the rust looks good nick.

Nice job Nick!!

I knew that bike was solid when I saw it. Great to see you bringing it back from the dead. It was also nice to see you at the recent shows in OH and MI. Great to see your passion for the hobby! Mike

update

here is a little update. I steel wheeled most of the metal but not much came out, I also replaced the crank arm as it was almost rotted off. also cleaned up the accessorys and put then back on.... the original owner would be proud

Looks great Nick. Makes me wish I woulda picked it up. Best of luck finding the missing pieces to make her whole again.
