I used to use shellac as a primer when I was a painter (artist like). It really is great stuff. feels great on the hand and on the brush. And now I suppose on the butt.
Yup, it's for the Space Bike Buildoff. Too bad the only thing spacey is the Spaceliner frame. lol

But anyway, for those who were asking about the battery holder... Here's what it is:
It's a miners head light that uses 4-D cell batteries. The typical battery cans that were used on vintage balloon bikes can run upwards of $65.00! So being a cheapskate, I opted for this $3.95 alternative. The green paint stripped off easily to reveal very nice brass.
Sorry for not telling right away but I was trying to win a couple more for my other bikes before I spilled the beans. I got the other ones for $9.00 and $10.50. But this brass one looks to be the best one yet since it has a switch already built into it.
