My brothers child has grown to two wheel age and our childhood bike was removed from moth balls. It made sense to put a bit more time into making it proper for the young one. I stripped the frame with sandblasting before using self etching primer, and a single stage to match the original paint. I hitup ebay for decals and tried to match one of the factory decal application patterns. She loved it.
