Just finished painting my £5 Orange Clockwork

bjellys · May 3, 2019

I have today just finished painting my Orange clockwork orange fade all done with aerosols I personally think it's passable but feel free to slag it off if you like ,I can take it .
I got the frame shot blasted to get rid of any rust then went from there.
The bike it's self cost me £5 which was a bargain.

I like the original in the first pic, before you repainted it and built it up

Looks OK to me. Matching orange stem would be cool

Looks pretty good to me, looking forward to seeing it with decals back on it.

Great stuff, I hope you’re feeling proud already, it’s great when you rescue an old bike and to get that for a fiver!!!

Re:

What a transformation!

Hope you found a better crankset to go back on it!

Extra kudos from me, its far easier to hand it to a pro then have a go yourself.

New decals will set it off, hopefully you can find some repro originals at a reasonable price.

They could even be done waterslide on a home printer then lacquer the lot to stay with the budget theme.
