Update...not sure I like the blochy bare metal look now..
Just the pits are so deep in areas.....still pondering what to do on this one.

It's all about the Rescue / Revival and of course the Tanklights!!

How did I run out of room so fast?

Most rust pits can be filled with a surfacer or primer surfacer. Apply & sand 2-3 times.
Best results are gained by brushing the primer.
 
To linseed oil or clearcoat?

It's a quick mock up with these red primered rims to see if they work well with the bare metal.

I vote linseed. Easier to remove linseed oil than clearcoat if you decide to paint in the future.

Plus boiled linseed leaves a nice warm glow and doesn't have an artificial appearance.
 
Picked up this '41 Autocycle on Monday.....

As of right now, it looks like this.....(wheel is a temp)

I did linseed oil the metal and it looks badass.
Can't decide which rims look best...but, other than that this project is complete...we'll maybe find a bare metal fender light...maybe something steam punky

Silver (painted with black pinstriping)?

Or Red (primered but, drops)

Project bikes

I like the red ones john. Trying to figure out what to do with my 39 Hiawatha project. My luck sucks again because there was no OG paint underneath so I stripped it all off. I hate to paint (as you all know) so I might some sanding then the boiled linseed oil on this one too. Rob.
