Re: KLUNK-ROD
Decided to do a little work on this thing today.
Still not really sure of what I am going to do, but I have some ideas.
Who knows...it will either look cool or really goofy.
Here's a really lame blurry photo of the parts collection so far...
Did some quick sanding...I hate sanding...so let's say it's less than perfect. :mrgreen:
A little primer on the front...
Now a little off-white satin...
Now for the forks....
Letting the bearings soak overnight in some Simple Green.

The white to blue fade would look really good.

Re: KLUNK-ROD (the fun has begun)
Applied the stencils last night and laid down the black.
I used Krylon Gloss Black Appliance Epoxy paint....goes on very smooth a shiny.
The key is to lay it on really thick on the second coat.
Now I'm really not sure which way to go with this...ha ha.
I'm thinking a set of black wheels would look really cool on this bike now.
Not sure if I want to use the gold stuff or not. :?

Re: KLUNK-ROD (06-23)
Did a little mocking up this evening now that the paint is dry.
I may have to end up changing the name on this since it looks like I'll be going a different direction than originally planned.
Probably won't use this wheel set since I promised them to my Dad, but I'm thinking black rims would look pretty tough.
Oh well, it's fun to play around with stuff.

Re: KLUNK-ROD (MOCK UP TIME)
Are you happy with the paint ? I was eyeballing it at Lowes the other day and was curious how it holds up to abuse?

Re: KLUNK-ROD (MOCK UP TIME)
Well...I think after a few more days of drying it may toughen up even more.
I have never had any luck with spray paint...I follow the directions, apply 2 or 3 coats and still seem to be able to scratch it fairly easily...maybe that's just the nature of spray paint???
It went on really well and has a real glossy smooth look. I'm not sure if the 100 degree temps in my garage are speeding up or slowing the drying process.
