So.
Another bag of Haribo gets a 2nd go at the seat tube hole repair. Filed back and sorted, it's then into etch primer. This was then followed by several coats of filler primer, plenty of wet sanding working through the grades to smooth the imperfections.
White primer was used as laying the red down on a grey primer would slightly darken the colour matched to original red.
Lots of little 'pock marks' on the top tube filled up by the primer coats.
Primer coats taken right through to 1200 grit smoothness.
Finally. Pleased with the Primer coats, it's into the 1st pass of red.
Red was Colour matched by paint store in Leamington. Note they've actually labeled it Offroad / Pro flex red.
Couple more coats and then onto the 2K Lacquer finish. Starting to come together slowly.
Cheers
