Re:

Right, a bit of play time in the garage after resting from full on Lumberjack duties. I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that the frame is going to need a repaint, there are plenty of chips and more keep revealing themselves as I clean it more thoroughly and frankly the paint is just well Weird :shock: It's this strange matt paint that picks up dirt whenever you touch the frame and in some cases seems to suck up the stain into the paint. I have tried brake cleaner, muck off and as a last resort cellulose thinners on some stains (particularly on the chain stays ) and they just don't shift. I was doing some metal polishing ton some cranks tonight and touched the frame with my grubby mitts and the stain doesn't then wipe off with a cloth, needing muck off to clean it off (and not easily). I don't think I can live with this..so when we return to the real world I think a nice coat of Pearlescent white will do the trick.

Very odd... white zinc primer?

God knows..it's not like any matt paint I have ever known, it almost feels soft?
