Just to show people the difference

I first tried to get my frame done , a transparent powder , but it was a total disaster , a big waste of money

heres some pics before I had to get it totally stripped again, (more expense as I had to get it professionally done )

You can see the original HLT colour still on the head tube steerer , not like you need that to show you how far this finished colour is out

I was gutted to say the least

Then found Neil was THE only person to deal with

With all the powdering ,stripping , painting, and numerous posting to and from places this frameset's finish stands me at around Â£300

But since I got it back on Tuesday , like I said before NOW the result, is the best money I've spent doing this hobby

CHRISTAIN i spent over £120 buying some so called harrry leary smoked powder from c4 labs . to find out it was nearly the same as your blue powder lacquer that was 1st on your frame . i am not slagging c4 labs as they are amazing with paint and powder but what they sent me was poo poo

Wow . That look's stunning . We need some outside pics though

Another quality paint job there Neil

looks stunning just one question though neil, i thought you worked in the paint

industry supplying paints but your not a painter, is this your work or someone else?

yes dan i do supplie paint and yes i can paint but we work as a team me and the painter . just he knows nothing of the harry leary colour . hope this answers your question

tbh though i'm more impressed with the polishing

Can't get any decent pics outside in the Sunshine to show off the colour ,, because there's been no frickin' sunshine

Some poor from indoors then

Phwaaaarrrr

looks lovely BUT please sort the brake levers out, they should be positioned so that the level itself is parallel to the grip

BUT she still looks FANTASTIC

Sorry mate but the levers are EXACTLY the same as the Learymeister himself had 'em ( double bents , not single pre-bent as came on the bike )

fitted the same

hunterdubber · « **Reply #63 on:** October 12, 2009, 08:56 PM »

Mattdub · « **Reply #73 on:** November 14, 2009, 12:00 AM »

I'm likin' that

, very good overall .

Have you just polished the cranks ? . If you get to do another set go for clear/silver anno after light polish to rid of any imperfections , I've a set here I resto'ed and will try and get pics up over the weekend . They look very close to factory finish

, they were corroded like yours before .
