As the title suggests, I think it looks pretty cool from a distance. Bear in mind, the last picture is without the clearcoat and the keirin flakes, so it's still WIP. Just put 2 layers of matte clearcoat on for protection, plus wanted to smooth out the edges of the different paints as the blue "sticks out" a tiny bit and I didn't want to sand. Now while I'm waiting to dry, I had time to write the post!
Also to give an idea of the components, linking a picture of my volume cutter:
Got a straight Thomson seatpost for the new build, as well as the saddle changed.
Plus, a de-stickered Miche Pistard wheelset that I need to change the tubulars and sprocket on. Also ordered some cheap Zipp decals from Ali for the lame bling. Probably won't those on anyways...
So the painting should be ready by the end of today, then leaving it for a day to dry. I'm also waiting for a new Hope BB for the omnomnoms, so the building will likely be on Friday. Will give me time to put some Tufo S33s on the Miche wheelset...
