Porkchop & Applesauce
I live for the CABE
Good morning rat bike bro’s! As you may already know I’ve been working on my 1946 world imperial. Well for the past few days I’ve been trying and failing to get the fork tubes to match. I tried painting them and the colors were so off it looked hideous! I took them back to bare metal and sanded them with 400 wet sand paper and that looked way wrong too! Until I discovered that mixing hydrogen peroxide,a bit of white vinegar and a pinch of salt will cause metal to rust almost instantly! I painted the spears on the bare metal starting with black and then antique white over the black. Once it dried I carefully sanded the edges back to the black. Then I sprayed the mixed solution on them and let them dry about 10 times and let them hang all night. I didn’t touch them and cleared over them as I wanted to keep the look. Then a few hours later I used a scotch bright pad and gently knocked the lumps down and reclear coated them!
