fork fork fork

last night I started working on painting the fork on my Project SS bike. There were a couple scratches in the paint so instead of trying to sand and feather the paint back I decided to to apply stipper and take all the paint off. It worked out quite well. I got all the paint/primer off with ease and a lot less dust and mess had i tried to sand it off. I was able to get 2 coats of primer on it as well.

My frame is at the blaster and should be done next week sometime. He is actually using walnut chips instead of sand. Sand will eat away at the metal so walnut chips is the way to go I guess.

Paint will be mostly black with the lugs painted green. There are a few finishing touches I may put on it but I need to wait to see the bike before I decide to do more.
