Thanks for the feedback. I'm getting it clean. I'm going to try to wax for the last touch to avoid putting any clear coat on. Maybe someday I will repaint and then clear coat.
By the way... I used the aluminum in water trick to clean the chrome and it worked great. If you haven't tried it...
Hey - I have a Murray boys bike from the 70s I am restoring. I'm not looking to repaint the bike as I like the old look. The problem is the paint has light rust and is starting to flake at some of the corners. Any suggestions for stopping further deterioration? Can I just do a clear coat...
Thanks for the info! I have begun to disassemble the bike. This is my first ever bike project so it will be a learning process. There isn't much rust, so I'm thinking I will just clean the body parts and not do a full strip/new paint. Looks like original wheels - they have "M.O" stamped on...
Hello,
I just picked up my first (non-modern) bike! I don't have a picture up yet, but will follow up with one.
It is a Kids bike, front Badge says:
Western Flyer
Western Auto Stores
M.O.M
There is a tag on the seat tube bottom (not underside) between the pedals that reads:
Murray Ohio MFG...
