[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3860360, member: 44288"] Trike #2 This one kicked my butt I think because I chose a poor spraypaint. Never use the primer and paint in one can. I sanded it all down to bare metal wiped it with a degreaser and thinner to remove all the greases and oils and used a filling primer and a self etching primer and some of it still didn't stick in places. I also waited weeks to go over some of the paint with a high clear coat gloss and the paint bubbled up in places. Grrrrr! Sanded it down and repaint. Several times! [ATTACH type="full" alt="western flyer picture.jpg"]303994[/ATTACH] The owner wanted the original non metallic wine red and cream paint. Yeah, those grips were white under the crud. So were the pedals. I was sanding it down and found pinstripes under the crud on the fender! Holes in the seat were repaired with JB Weld after I made them bigger trying to weld them shut.
