Charlie's bike pt9
Paint is finished and bearing races. Have been pressed back in. I won't say how I did it as IT IS NOT THE WAY YOU SHOULD DO IT! But it just about worked.
Now for assembly!

Charlie's bike pt8
Paint has dried and been smoothed with 1200 grit wet and dry paper and now the graphics are being added before the clear lacquer is put on.
The water marks will need to be vleaned off and the graphics perfectly flat before it is sprayed again.

1 can of paint is not quite enough!
Thats really annoying!
I guess I had better get extra lacquer as well.

Charlie's bike pt5
Bike frame being stripped with Nitro Mors.
Make sure it does on nice and thick!
Paint just falls away when it has done its job.

Charlie's bike pt4
Gave up sanding and bought some Nitromors from Halfords. Really glad I did as it is taking far less time to strip the paint and is a lot easier (if smellier!).
It is pretty nasty stuff so masks, safety glasses etc. But the results are great!
Forks are done so far, the rest will have to wait for a couple of days.
