Mentioned it in the new framebuilder thread but should really discuss it in here, I’m having doubts on my planned paint job on my new frame.
I got it printers the other day then realised my fillets weren’t as smooth as I though do have been working on them a bit but it’s kinda struck me that this striving for perfection doesn’t really become me.
I was going to brush paint the frame with a single colour of enamel paint but now I’m thinking that might be a bit boring. I’ve bought the paint so might use it as a base but then do a splatter or drop effect over the top.
I like this style where you apply paint and let it run,
Or maybe a more traditional splatter job, the enamel paint I already have is somewhat close to the base colour of this,
Im not going to use the paint to cover up poor workmanship on the fillets though, I’ve got them looking a lot (IMO) better.
And the whole thing,
