Well after about 2 years of being under construction and in primer im finaly getting the final paint job and last set of parts on my first lowrider bike. Today i went with my dad to his shop and mixed up some PPG briliant blue pearl and shot er' into some spray bombs. I plan to spray it tomorow if the weather is nice. Im also reupholstering my banana seat with blue and gret crushed velvet. Here are some pictures of the frame and my paint, tomorow if i spray it i will take pictures of my progress.

This is the best picture i could get of the paint, but as usual they do it no justice.

Its some canadian made frame, over here durring the banana seat bike craze since schwinn didn't sell in canada we had similar cantilever style bikes. The company that made this bike is called ideal cycles but i had never heard of them before, probably went bankrupt sometime. Oh and im gona be painting er' up today, 25 degrees outside :biggrin:
