Well, in all fairness my hubby does all of the work. He does an amazing job restoring these old rusty bikes. He will enhance the patina on them, sometimes using mica powers as well as the paint.

He has clients who commission him to do customization on their bikes. He really enjoys it thoroughly and loves when the clients are especially impressed with his attention to detail.

Keep me informed when you've posted your friends bike. I am very fond of vintage bikes as you are probably well aware of by now!
