Re: 1936 Elgin Project - Update 10/21
I was thinking either black or silver, but I'm not sure I am going to try at all. My hands are not that steady and I am afraid I'll mess it up.

Thanks guys. I should have the paint work finished Monday night, but the bike has a LONG way to go. The rims, bars, pedals, crank, and everything else is coated in several layers of paint. It is all going to have to come apart and get redone. I will post pics as things progress!
I want to do stripes on it, but i don't know how it will come out. Maybe I will practice some and give it a try.

Jeez Dan, I'm diggin the color combo. Not sure if you should keep the arrow on the forks though. As for the striping, I think and light green would be good. I hope whoever painted that will put a clear coat on it. My 2 cents would be to lightly wet sand it with 1500 or 2000 around the scallops and skim the frame then clear it if you havent already. That paint will pop like Pee Wee Hermans popcorn bucket :shock:

Back from a 2 year break on this bike! Wheels painted, laced to a pair of finned Elgin hubs, original fenders, bars, and seat got ditched. Has a few bugs to work out and I still need a cool pair of pedals (these belong to another bike). NOS EA light and horn because I wanted to copy Yeshoney.
