Y2K Specialized Stumpjumper M2 Gulf blue - chicks dig (battle) scars edition ;)

I've been lurking for some time and just signed up.

Mamadirt, do you have tutorial or any tips on restoring graphics? I'm working on a S-Works M5, black with white 'outline' logos. I was going to leave the frame in patinaed condition, but I'm tempted to give the graphics a bit of a refresh.

Loving the 'Gulf' Stumpy. Will have to keep an eye out for progress.

I use standard artist's acrylic paint - water based so it's easy to color match and it can be gently t-cut to a shine. My hand is not as steady as it used to be 😂 so for the fine work on the forks I used a black fine-tip Sharpie (the lacquer coat should stop it disappearing at the first sign of a little grease 🤞).

Incidentally that matte lacquer ⬆️ has dried glossy 🤷 Not sure whether to recoat it with satin or leave it - we'll see how my accumulation of parts is progressing and how impatient I am when we return from the States at the end of August 😉
