Something like Flamboyant Red for 70s Speedster?

Thanks, yes I realize it's not quite ready for paint yet.

Are you going to do a chemical paint remover?

Maybe have it sandblasted. Haven't decided yet.

Well... It might be beyond the cleaning and waxing stage.

Yeah, it's long over due for a respray. I've found that Raleigh Cycle Aluminum Lacquer works well as a base coat and Dupli Color comes real.close to the red your looking for. Good luck. Mark.

That duplicolor paint is the stuff! Dries fast, dries smooth. Pretty tough as well. No buffing needed. I’ve used it to paint a chain guard or two to match. Really impressive stuff for the fact it comes out of a can.

Dupi-color Perfect Match has/had a color the matches the late Sky Blue. Only thing is, it's a Lacquer base fine metallic. It looks good though.

For being a Lacquer base.... I've used it over an Enamel silver base coat & no issues. Thats not supposed to be allowed. You can spray Enamel over Lacquer but never Lacquer over Enamel. IT REACTS .... so, this is very odd. This is 100% true with automotive paint anyway.

The duplicolor perfect match lacquer is a super fast dry paint. If the enamel is the old Schwinn enamel, it doesn’t phase it. Whatever they’re using to mix their paint. It’s definitely not as hot as a normal automotive lacquer.
