Perfect Patina Matches

[Rivnut]

1958 Stalet. I got the basic frame and fenders from a bike recyling facility run by the city for fixing up bikes and trikes for tikes for Christmas. Not the kind of bike they were looking to fix up so i made a donation and took it. The wheels and tires were easy, I had them. I found the seat, tank, and chain guard on eBay - all separate listings. (The rack I had and tried to paint to match - sorry it looks better in real life than on film.) I now have the correct 9 hole rack. Still looking for a matching Delta fender light.

I bought this shelby without a light...Frank (cyclonecoaster) had a cream colored shell and was nice enough to sell it to me. It was clean but a shell only so I looked on ebay for a donor light for the guts and lens and found a rattle can painted flat black but complete light. Picked it up for parts and once it arrived, started to take the two apart to make one when I noticed that the cream colored shell had at some point had been modified and the guts from the donor could not be installed...I was a little bummed and took a second look at the black light, thinking I would now have to paint and try to match it...when I took it apart, I noticed some red paint peeking through the flat black on the inside of the light and started rubbing...the old flat black started coming off and I was left with this light in matching red...like it never left...

Finally found a rack for my Higgins. I think the patina matches pretty well!

The fenders and chain guard were added to to my old ‘51. I think it matched up pretty well...

I've had this maroon Colson feather guard for at least 5 years. A year or so ago this beautiful maroon 36 LWB Double Bar came into my life....missing the guard! It was a match made in heaven!

The bike had a thick freshly painted light on it when I got it. I think this one is a perfect patina match.

Finally installed the patina finish putter stem on my Huffman Airflyte model 4T. I’m thrilled with the match.
