Both my Maxis had bad blue rattle can jobs. Have to strip to bare metal to get at the old layers of paint and minor rust. I've restore/painted over 30 Schwinn Sting Rays, all were in bad shape and I've only had 3 Schwinns that I've left the paint 'original' as they only had minor damage. I've always had kustomizing in my blood so I tend to get carried away with doing resto work, not many things stay stock in my life.
