Looking good

Is it gloss white, or pearl white?

Re:

Thanks guys, I cant wait to get this one back and built. Ive swapped the white saddle out for a black one and have found a pair MA40s for it as well.

Re:

It is pearl, but it doesn't show well in the pics. Also painter was hoping for more of a pearl effect he said so may add some more.

Well, you've set the bar ridiculously high for my build. It's going to look really nice when done (where's the "thumb up" smiley when you need it)

As I'm going to be building mine with a Sora/Tiagra STI mix, I'm tempted to go for a non standard colour, or maybe just all pearl white

Thanks Andy

Bit more pearl ha been added, will tone down a bit once the clear had gone on to give us the finish we wanted

Re:

Just seen this thread, looks like an amazing job so far. I bet you're itching to get it together! How long did it take to get that groupset together?

Re:

Cheers guys, yeah can't wait to get it back and start building, its nearly there.

Here's a teaser pic of the wording, this is the rear stay and remember no decals just paint.

Got to be happy with these pics I was sent, again all painted not a decal in sight

Shes back and the paint job is complete, I couldn't be happier.

Fresh Raleigh Blue and Pearl white, and every thing apart from the Reynolds decal and Ti Raleigh decal is painted on, smooth and glossy. As we were imho making it better than new I also had him leave the drop outs chrome which gives it something a little different.

Hope you like
