The colour scheme was chosen by my brother, he has gone for a glossy white finish on both the frame and forks. This was achieved by using alot of layers of white to ensure a deep and even finish.
The lacquer was left in the sun before being applied to ensure good adhesion. The frame was flatted with 1200 grit inbetween layers of paint but not layers of lacquer. Three days later and with paint all over the garage we are pleased to say we are finished.
We are going to convert this bike to a single speed and therefore we have delugged the frame and chopped off all the now unnecessary cable holders and mounts. This leaves a much cleaner and simpler looking frame.
Dont worry it isn't yellow on one side thats just a lamp.
The forks had two mounting holes chopped off at the bottoms, we will still be running the original front brake.
The bearing runners were masked off with great care.
