Vintage style bicycle project update
A little while ago we did a post on our bicycle project. We wanted to take a couple of cheap bikes we had, and to save some money we decided to overhaul these bikes. We took the them apart, making sure to keep the parts in bags. We sanded the old paint, once with a medium grit sand paper and again with a smooth grit. After or before sanding you can wash the frame and all the parts that are gonna get painted with dish soap to remove any grease. I like washing the frame after sanding so any dust left behind can be removed. Let it all dry and now you can spray the primer. We purchased all the paints at Home Depot. I chose almond and teal and my sister Geraldine chose flat black and pink. Here's where we're at so far. :)
