Colnago Word cup diy re-spray

True, but Since it's a (2011) frame set, I decided to go with the old logos. Can't change it, clear coated over the logos.

Base coat dried for about 24 hours before adding the crackle. I crancked up the heat to about 30 Celsius. But the Montana paint dries quite quick anyways. The crackle paint (again, Montana) dried 24hours. Then 3 coats of clear on top of the decals. 2 min between the coats of clear. Again warm room, with pre heated rattle cans. Put them in medium warm water after shaking them. (Paint flows better.) I Also gently sanded with 800 grit paper where the decals was added before putting on the clear.

Forgot to post the painted top-cap. The crank is done. Thinking about de-anodizing the red anodized parts on my avid ultimate brakes.

Already clearcoated over the decals. Won't be a big of problem. Running 1x with a 38toooth chainring. But It's going to look a bit off center.

Thanks for explaining your method, looks great.

Thanks for going in detail about the painting process, might have to give rattlecanning another go in the future.

Thank you for explaining this, it's really helpful and the frame it looking brilliant. How many cans did you use? I have literally no experience with this so forgive me if it's basic knowledge! Do you think this can this be done on steel frames?

Looks great, chapeau; how flat is the final coat, does the clear coat smooth out the crackle texture?

I wasn't sure. But then I was sure. Amazing paintwork! I won't miss you at a CX event. Chapeau.

One last question about the method -
How many tins of paint did you use on each coat (Base, colours, crackle etc)
Thanks

Paint looked a bit odd after the crackle, but it looks fantastic now it has the clear coat shine good job!

I like the decals too

Nice. Like the tiger bread finish.

You mean giraffe bread?

Nope, I mean tiger bread. Where the fook sells giraffe bread?

Edit: Sainsburys rebrand.

Giraffe bread is renamed Tiger bread from Sainsbury's
@jontea

Fok off with the giraffe bread nonsense. Waitrose does tiger bread.

2 cans of colour, 1 can of crackle paint and 1 can of clear. Did only use 1/2 of each of the colour cans. The crackling effect depends on the thickness of the coat. So still have some of it left.

You need to lay down a really thick layer of clear to smooth out the crackling.

Thanks

Thanks man, really would like to have a go myself!

Go for it!
