Re:
Bare frame, with gear hanger, weighs in at smack on 1.5kg.
Started on it today. I wanted to test the yellow paint on an area before doing the main tubes. It's quite a pale yellow, with some flecks in it, almost metallic.
So, rubbed down, primered, and a bit of yellow later,

Followed by clear coat. Sadly, it is a bit too pale. :roll: So won't be using any more of that I think. Although I will have a proper look at it in daylight tomorrow.
A couple of the bottle bosses were spinning, so I pushed them through into the tubes, before rattling them out.

New ones to replace,

Simply put it in the hole, hold the nut and tighten the allen bolt.

May look in my stash for some stickers to cover missing paint. I would still like to have a go at the red though. Look s like it's been leant against a lamp post or something similar.

Re:
Starting to wish I'd done the same, and stickered over the gnaarly bits!
Anyway, after a bit of paint and lacquer, the yellow is finally done.

The finish is great, but underneath, it is far from perfect. The only way around that would be to have taken it back to bare metal, I think.

Now for the tricky unmasking, nervous. Should I need to cut around the tape first?
