That’s one that is on my want list, the orange/white fade….how did you get on with the rattle can spray, it certainly looks great in the video and pictures.

Yeah it’s not too bad to use. I think I could do a better job next time though. You have to hold the paint fairly close or it turns to powder before it hits the frame. Quite resistant to runs it was.

I’d actually get it powder coated next time because of the effort to get it down to metal. By the time I’d bought stripper, grits, primer, paint and clear lacquer and my time it was quite the effort really but I just wanted to paint one to see if I could.

wow that looks really nice. i have the same model clockwork also a 1991 i believe. so gonna try this myself after seeing how nice yours is. Who did you use for the decals please as they look fantastic.

good work with the spraybike paints as i hear they are very powdery. im going to try using Montana paints.

i used Gil for the decals. This paint is quite forgiving but if you hold it too far away it drys mid air leaving a weak powder finish. 5-12cm are the instructions on the tin for the coloured paint. I was a bit far away first coat but holding it closer was much better.

thanks for that i will have to get some of those. i want to get a suspension fork for mine though as im so use to front suspension and intend to use it on my local club rides. i guess it kinda has to be a pace fork really. i may do a sort of restomod 1 x 10 drivetrain but want the rest to be more original timeline stuff. Im so glad i saw your project as i was about to see about clearing some of my bikes out but now i must try to do something similar as that white and orange is so nice..
