Dear Dude and Dudettes,

As you have read, or heard, by now I’ll no longer be selling Sting-Ray parts after December. I am currently not restocking most supplies and parts.

I’m giving you the head’s up on Schwinn paints. As of December 15^th, I will stop stocking paints.  After December 15^th, when a color runs out, to purchase more you will have to order a minimum of a quart of each.

My paints keep in a cool environment for years. Stock up now while you “can”…pun intended J

Thank You All!

Pete Aronson

Factory Color Matched Paints

     For that perfect Restoration, Hyper-Formance offers Factory Color Matched paints. These were expertly color matched to factory NOS cans of paint, and NOS chainguards and frames.  Available in Pints, 12 ounce Spray Cans and 1 ounce touch up bottles. Hyper-Formance paint is Sherwin-Williams Ultra 7000 Urethane basecoat/basecoat/clearcoat.

     Half pints must be used with a compressor and paint spray gun. This is best left to an experienced auto painter. I refer everyone who is inexperienced in painting to Dave Erickson in Minnesota, his phone number is: 952-473-8365, and he does excellent work! 

     For the rest of you, a half pint will paint one bike. Half pints must be reduced with Sherwin-Williams BCS Basecoat Stabilizer.  Reducing instructions are on the can and online. The Basecoat Stabilizer  needs to be chosen for the temperature you are spraying in. Information and product data sheets can be obtained thru the web at: sherwin-automotive.com or from their fax-back number: 1-800-539-5409. Clearcoat should be urethane. Sherwin-Williams offers many different variations of clear, I personally use their "CC930 Ultra Speed-Plus Performance Clearcoat". It offers great gloss and dries quick to minimize runs and dirt. You can use most other brands of urethane clearcoat, I've never heard of compatibility issues with them (but there could be a first, always test spray).  The first two coats should be sprayed "dry" and allowed to dry longer than usual. Basecoat Stabilizer, pints/quarts of clear, reducer and catalyst are available locally. If there is demand, or if you cannot obtain locally I can supply them for you. 

     I now offer urethane colors in 12 ounce spray cans! Spray cans require a bit more skill, as spray cans are either "On" or "Off", there is no "feathering" possible, but an EXCELLENT, show-quality paint job can be produced with my cans. 

     Primer and Basecoat are not the same thing! Primer needs to be purchased from Hyper-Formance or at an AUTO paint store, not an auto parts store or Home Depot...there IS a difference. Primer must be compatible with automotive urethane basecoat. I offer 450ml ounce spray cans of U-Pol #0805 High-Build primer.

     For clear, I offer 450ml ounce spray cans of U-Pol #1 Clearcoat. This is a VERY high quality clearcoat, when sprayed properly you cannot tell it from spraygun-applied clear.

    One can of Primer, one can of Aluminum basecoat, two cans of color and one can of clear are required to paint a complete bike in a candy or Kool Lemon. Solids other than Kool Lemon do not require the basecoat.

     Touch up is best used for bikes that have very few minor nicks. Candy Colors are meant to be sprayed, and brush touch-ups larger than a pin-head don't look all that great. Remember, aluminum basecoat is needed along with the candy colors. Hyper-Formance touch-up glass bottles fit airbrushes, but do not come thinned.

     If you have doubts as to how to do painting, there are several good books available at your local library or through most larger bookstores. Candy Colors require a bit of skill to apply correctly.

     The new Hyper-Formance Urethanes are compatible with the previous lacquer colors. Call me with ANY questions or compatibility concerns before spraying. The main difference is the solvents used are "Environmentally Friendly" on the new urethanes. Be sure to wear proper respirator equipment..."Environmentally Friendly" does not mean "Lung Friendly". 

     Decals came from the Schwinn Factory on top of the clear. ***Go to the "Decal" page for decal application instructions under clearcoat, and for Micro Set usage instructions.
