Project Bike Number 2

I really enjoyed the process of restoring and building my first bike.  The Carlton Single Speed bike is a keeper for sure.
So now I am working on a second bike.  It's a 1990s Schwinn Beach Cruiser
This bike will need:
  • A respray, there are a large number of chips and scrapes
  • A good polish of the chrome elements
  • Dents taken out of the mud guards
  • Service of the 3 speed coaster brake hub
  • New brake cables and components
  • Someone to buy it!

I am hoping that for the top coat I won't have this issue, I have found a paint from spray.bike  that sprays on like a powder coat, but dries like a traditional rattle can.  The results I have seen across the internet are impressive, so hoping that this helps with the final finish.  Anyway, here are the results from the primer coat:
