Cheers mate. Yeah it's looking a bit fresher now though with the purchase of the humbrol touch up paint (£1.8o) My plan of making this a zero budget build have been thwarted :facepalm: . Oh yeah, I need to buy some bottom bracket bearings too .. That shouldn't brake the bank.
Anyone know how long these enamel model paint take to dry? It's taking an age.
That's a fair price for the paint as i'm pretty certain it's the £2.20 mark down the road from me :shock: and drying time will take at least 12 hours to be properly dry depending on thickness of the paint tbh as i once did a full frameset by hand back in the eighties and i left it a full 24 hours before i was happy enough with the drying but i did put a fair bit on but the the results were amazing as it shone like glass and still looked wet when it were dry and no their wasn't any brush marks on the paint finish
..
Paint was £1.80 from Bolton Model Mart ...

its still not 100 percent dry ... been over 24 hours now :? TBF, there are 3 coats. the frame has faded to a different degree in different parts so the paint match goes from quite good to nothing like :roll:
at least it wont rust any further
