Been a little busy lately! :roll: Worked 14 days straight so I have'nt acomplished much! Worked on my wheels tonight and their done! Repainted my frame because I hated how it looked.Had 3 coats of primer and 3 coats of flat black.thought I'd protect it with a few clear coats and the 1st one ruined it! :x Hated the shiney look,so wet sand and more flat black! Guess I'm close to a factory paint job! L8 EM

you can use a matte or a flat clear to protect your paint without giving it that "shine". I like using a matte clear for flat black or the oxide red primer. It gives it an overall smoother look without the shiny look. I've noticed a lot of the hot rod guys use a satin look on the black cars that looks real sweet.

hey nice bike, i like the folding frame..i actually just made a swing bike using an old schwinn excercise bike and the back half a womens rollfast. i noticed that green one you have in that picture; do you have any idea what year it is, or how to read the serial numbers on a rollfast, mine is on the left rear dropout
