Dredging this.
I’ve just made a start on another frame and I’m wondering how to go about finishing it once it’s built.
It’s a lugged frame so powdercoating is out.
I’m owed a paint job by a mate but he’s going to be between workshops when I get the frame built and I know I’ll want to use the frame ASAP.
I’m wondering if I can get a decent finish painting it myself.
I don’t have any painting ‘kit’ but I’m willing to take my time with primer, wet and dry sanding etc.
@MrE post above makes a good case for enamel but as I may get my mate to repaint it down the line I have got it on my mind to not do anything that will be troublesome to deal with in the future, I think I’ve heard complaints about enamel on car restoration tv shows?
