Sticker Shock
Tonight I spent 45 minutes trying to remove stickers from this Armstrong 3-Speed Bike. I tried the blow dryer to soften the glue and that was working. Except I tried to use a razor to peel it back and accidently made a little gouge in the paint. I stopped doing that right away! Add that to the spots I have to try to touch up. I did find out that my thumb nails work just fine after heating it up and it doesn't wreck the paint underneath. After the sticker is gone, the rest of the glue is easy to remove with the citrus solvent.
Two weeks until the event and I'm starting to panic because I haven't really been working on this bike lately. I'll get it done though. I did put one tire on to make sure it works on that rim and it fits good! The white tires I bought will look so good on that red bike!
