Any clues

Hold on, so you already knew what it was...?

No I hadn’t a clue, just guessing and hoping that it was so great to have it confirmed

 

[chickendrumsticks]

Everybody's thinking it...you didn't spray over the pink, did you?

 

[Brilloaul]

Yes over the pink rust buster hammerite as no primer required. Should I start again?

 

[chickendrumsticks]

Aarrrgh! I would. Plenty folks on here can give you better advice than I. Reach out to them - please.

Yup…

I guess he'd like know how?

Brilloaul, you could use paint stripper, right down to the bare metal. Or maybe find a local Powder Coater who'll grit-blast it, again to the bare metal. From there you have choices:- powder coat, tough strong and very very long or respray which is pricier but considered better (by many). Especially for a venerable old frame like yours which deserves the best treatment possible. Many on here have experience of either. Complete DIY - check out - or ask, allenh - he's a respray diva!

I had it down to the bare metal and coated to prevent rust returning. My spray can effort is not great so know but I think I’ll see if it is mechanically sound after I’ve added new bits first
