My Dad had a Schwinn Bomber bike from the 40's that he brought home after it was retired from Point Mugu Naval Base. We decided to strip it and paint it. Several weeks latter we gave up. We just could not get all the paint off of it. He took it back to the Base and a guy at the paint shop shot it with Navy Grey Wrinkle paint. Man it was beautiful.

Rode that thing till 1964 when I traded it for a Three Speed Western Flyer!!!
