Nishijin "Football Theme"...paint job time!
Hey guys...woke up this morning, when on craigslist and look what I found. P1030540.jpgNot a bad price either, so I called the guy and picked it up. After I got it home I saw two problemsP1030539.JPGP1030541.JPG. I sent the first picture to RIVAL and he was impressed too...a string to engage the ball lever in the front (don't know what the real name is). I'm just glad I saw it before I tired to open the front door...I would of ripped off the front!
But the second problem was the rust on the center panel. No matter how much sanding I did, it just wasn't going to get any better, so I decided to paint it. First I primed it and then painted it red to match the other red on the machine. P1030546.JPGP1030551.JPG. I'll get it together tomorrow and see how it looks. I know...I shouldn't paint the chrome but I didn't want to spend extra money on a new frame or chrome job.
Then I bought some cool acrylic pens. If you find these, my suggestion is buy the "fine" tip. I bought the medium and ended up having to cut each tip to make it a little finer. Here's some before and after: P1030543.JPGP1030545.JPG
