Although I suspect the Dawes wasn't lug-lined originally, I thought the opportunity to try my hand at a bit of DIY lug lining was too good to pass up. So bought some One Shot signwriter's paint and some 00 size brushes. It's nearly finished, and it's bloody difficult. It doesn't look too bad from a distance, but up close it's not too pretty. I think next time I try lug-lining I'll get a ruling pen and see if that makes things easier.
The One Shot 'imitation gold' is, it turns out, a rather lurid orangey yellow colour. Oh well, it contrasts against the blue paint.
