I have an urge to paint a GT frame in something like the original paintjobs that were available in 1992. My Tequesta (black with white stripes - is that Daktari?) is what I would like to re-do, but in different colours.
I can get the base colour done easily with powder-coat, and obviously a top coat of lacquer, but how do I do the stripes? I can't really tell if the paint was dribbled on from a height or a paint brush was used. Also the type of paint I need to use is important too.
If you haven't inspected a frame from that era I'll let you know that you can actually feel the stripes on the paintwork, so there is a decent thickness of paint.
My Tequesta:
I like the Avalanche paint too - its more like a sponged effect on top which may be easier - please post a pic if you have a close-up of that finish!
