Colors look good. The beige has an old feel to it. Can you get the red to be more of a dull 'brick' red color? A little more muted than the one pictured. Maybe the comp screen makes it look brighter and glossier than you are planning....
I have a few different colors of One Shot sign painting enamel I'll get a good photo of the paints posted up here soon.
Little more faded looking on the red maybe? You doing the bigger orangeish area on the fender with the red?
Whatever colors you chose that should look sweet over that patina on there.

This build is moving along nicely , just waiting on my fenders to get back from being reshaped I'm still trying to decide on what color scheme to go with. And I have started on re-laceing my wheel set I had to order my rear wheel spokes because of the odd sizing on them, Also have been cleaning up all the really rusty parts.
I started hand drilling these holes in the chain guard. Then I stop so I could ask you guys how much further down the guard those hole should go I'm leaning towards leaving them as they are now.
Dog leg sweet heart sprocket.
I'm really loving the Delta with the bare metal top cover, I think I might just leave it as is.
I completely rebuilt my Torrington pedals.
Heres what they looked like before.
And finally the paints I have for the pin stripes, I have a local paint shop that sells 1/4 pints of one shot enamel for 8 bucks so I'm probably going to go get like 3 more colors before I decide on the finial color scheme.

Drillium! That looks cool and I think you've got just enough. Parts are looking good...

Parts are super cool! Would love to see this bike in person as a finished product.....Boise sounds nice ....
I was wondering about maybe another row of holes, or two, to get you in an angular line with the first 'step' in that chain guard....

Oh, I see now. Just zoomed in, there are two more steps in that guard.....now I'm not sure....
Nice collection of goodies for your build!
Love the drillium holes. Maybe add three angled lines of holes just in front of next stepped section of the guard
Gonna be a great looking bike! Let's see the rest of them stripes..
Wheels look good!

Love the overall look and your add ons! Any thought to 'aging' the darts a bit? I really like the color, they just seem to stand out a bit much. Maybe even just a rub with a well used green Scotch Brite pad, a new one would take away too much paint.....
Ya I was toying with that idea, but I still haven't even painted the fenders yet so until I get those back from the motorcycle shop that's reshaping them, which should be on Monday I don't know what I'm going to do. I do agree with you they do stand out a little to much.
