Thank you all for the input.
Last year when I started this hobby I lucked out on price and a very complete (BLACK) 1962 Jaguar Mark IV (Missing only the light) that was really trashed. It was chipped, dented, rusted, and spray painted and used for a shield in a B B Gun fight. Because a shiny black is pretty forgiving for a Schwinn match I took the plunge. I had it professionally powder coated. I found a source to remove nearly all the dents in the fenders (a deep one from the rear carrying rack) and polished them to a mirror shine. Each part was cleaned by hand including the rust. It was only my second one i did this way and I have to admit it turned out pretty sweet. not perfect but nice. It appears I continue to find black bikes. I did the same to a (Black)1962 traveler as well. This one turned out even better. i continue to fall upon black bikes. It must be an Arizona thing.
