Paint is on, but there is still much to go, carbs, interior, electrics, putting the panels back on, etc. etc. but neverthe less a major milestone and I am happy with the results.

Wow, another really nice DIY paint job. The body work on my 4A is what's keeping it from getting done. I'm impressed with the painting talent on this forum. Very nice.

Where did you do the painting? I assume you did not paint them where they are hanging in the pictures and didn't get any on the wall and bikes behind them.

Yeah, Rich... same thought: "Hope that's not a Motobecane hangin' there." :smirk:

They were painted in the garage with the bikes, the bikes were removed for painting, the bikes are a giant (off white) and hanging up higher an old Viscount (do they still make those?) that I have had since the late 70s, it needs tires and brakes, but still has a warm spot in my heart as I rode it all around in high school and college before I had a car or when the Sprite was broken or I didn't have enough dough to park it.

Thanks for the kind comments and the concern about the bikes!

Very nice, that red is going to look great when the 250 is done.
