@ Wolf....i matched the color close as i could, the color is called (celery stock) base coat clear coat. it is a odd color but i get a lot of complements.
@ Rusty....nice job, where did you find a decal set for a girls bike?

Nice build, I'll be working on a couple of girls Monark's soon also.
A couple of questions...
Did you have the neck shroud just polished or chromed also?
Did you find the correct rivets for the the rear cheesegrader?
You can find the badge rivets on McMastercarr, if you have not already.

Overall that bike looks great. good job!
Please keep updating.

The neck shroud is polished... i think they come chromed, monark chrome seems to not last it flakes off easy
for the cheese grader, the rivets are just fender rivets
 
Re: Restoring 1952 monark, (FINISHED) finally

I picked up the rims today after a long wait.
