Old school RADsters building and old school RADsters replying  :smitten: :4_17_5:

Paint looks ace Matt  :coolsmiley:

Now let's see her lubed up.... I mean lacquered up  :bellend:

Cheers fella, got a mint SR crank coming, and in the stash some gold Haro bolts, Blue sugino chainring, gold Kmz chain etc... Just need to decide what stem to use, what bars and what pedals. I have mint gold Arayas and Blue snakebelly tyres. So got pretty much everything really to do it, just need a bloody blue Kuwahara frame pad 🙈😆

Did you etch prime it? or just paint it blue?

If it is the latter and you want the paint to stay on if you say boo to it I would clear the shit out of it.

I did that with my Team goose .. I thought stone chips could be an issue ??... turns out dust particles are equally as bad  ::) ;D :LolLolLolLol:   Every time i go near it some more paint flakes off  ::) :LolLolLolLol:

Tack cloths mate. They're not terribly expensive. That and a good pre paint cleaner.

But yeah, tack cloths FTW. Gets rid of loads of over spray too !
