Sorry all. Doesn't seem I'm receiving emails when there's a reply.

Yes, I'm curious how it's done. If there's special equipment involved. It doesn't look like Herculiner....looks baked on?

I ended up using my die grinder to clean it up and painted it flat black.

I thought it would be some sort of powercoat.

I don't have a whole lot to throw into this bike. I'm going to get it rideable, dependable, then probably sell it to finance my '67 rebuild.

Thanks! (still don't know why I'm not getting notifications....)
