Rattle me can?

[Pauliemon]

I decided to try a rattle can paint job. I usually powder coat it or have one of my painter buddies do the deed. This is my 36 Schwinn C model.

I'm going to have to redo the left side seat tube. It's a little off center, like me.

It turned out pretty nice so I figure I'm on a roll. Let's go for it!

Dang man I'm a pro!

DOH! I'm gonna put that pro status on hold. In retrospect, it's prefect.

looks super, they weren't perfect from the factory by any means.

Thanks Cowboy. Wait until you see the 40 Autocycle I got from you. That's where the red monkey gas tank is going.

That monkey is a little shy.
Looks good, what are you masking your paint with in regards to the C model? Are you going to shoot clear over it?

Masked it with a stencil kit I got off Ebay. The seller is oldstuff4yousheepdog, I've used a couple of his kits and they work well. Rust-oleum flat black and satin Hunt Club Green. I airbrushed the fade on the spears with satin Moss Green.

The people at Home Depot are pretty sure I'm a "Huffer".

Yes I'm going to spray clear satin over it.

The stock fork is bent I mean really bent. Since its a 20" frame it has a tall head tube. Which means I can use a fork off a girly bike with a longer steer tube.

I'm going to use this fork off a 39 Hiawatha girls. The headlight is off a 1957 International Harvester tractor. Is it me or do any others out there have a hard time painting over patina?
