Finally got 99% of the green paint off last night. Who needs a bead blaster...used a brass wire brush and at times a steel wire brush wheel.
Interesting look I have now. Some areas were taken down to shiny steel where some areas were not (yet ).
Guess I could linseed the parts and go from there to see what it turns out to look like.
Having never followed up on a bare metal theme before, I might just try it.
Lots of large areas of deep pits in the steel but, all appears to still be a structurally sound frame.
Would be easier to remove the oil than deal with re-stripping the frame back down to bare metal. And then decide to go with a different look.
Not sure I've seen a bare metal Colson done here before.
This is not a ratrod themed contender as all parts will be correct Colson parts.
Hmmmm?
I am inspired by Tyler' s vision he had on his bull nose. Don't think he went through with it though.
As I recall what he accomplished with the original paint was amazing.
His vision.....
