Pee-Wee's Big Adventure Bike

Chipping away at the nine zillion little details…

What color red paint did you guys use? Same with white. I’m sure I’m overthinking it, but interested to hear if you went custom mix or off the shelf

I powder coated my bike. It was a color called Passion Red. The screen bikes have a bit of orange in it.

I went with Automotive Basecoat/Clearcoat G.M. Torch Red over Ermine White.

Would you by any chance have any pics of your bike finished just curious how the final powder coat looked

I don't have any close-ups at the moment. This is the only one that I could find. Unfortunately, my bike is buried behind some stuff at the moment due to us remodeling our home.

Thank you looks great. Are your saddle bags painted, if so what color red did you use

The saddlebags are painted, but someone else did those for me. So, I really have no idea what color was used.

Crossing a couple more things off my list. I think I need to move the front fin on my light a bit forward. Siren and bracket came out better than I thought it would. Siren body and roller wheel are fully cast same as screen used.

Looks Great, I'd leave well enough alone, you'll wind up messing it up trying to "fix" it , I'm just talking from experience, you're just being Hyper-critical, I'm the same way.

Hypno discs was one thing that I was dreading…think they came out ok (all paint no decals)

Quick question, what have people been using to attach the white middle fin under the tank

Quick question, what have people been using to attach the white middle fin under the tank

People have done various things. Some have made custom brackets out of waterjetted stainless steel. Others have simply used brass strip and fashioned them with hand tools. At one time, you could also buy reproduction brackets for Schwinn cycle trucks. I'm sure some have used pipe brackets as well.
