  • Spent a vast proportion (way too much) of yesterday reading/researching about paint and powdercoat finishes, it would appear my inner geek has been awoken.
    After several hours on tinterweb, and a phone conversation with Winston, I am not having a dark gunmetal metallic frameset, as @Hulsroy said top of this page - there's a lot of experience in those fillets, so it would be a shame to cover them more than is necessary, I (we) have decided to go the clear powdercoat route (Winston has built a Dogs Bollox recently, clear coated, and it's holding up well), should look very nice with my black and polished components.
    Excitement building, head exploding imminent!

  • Just to be clear (get it) I've never suggested clear coat. I firmly believe fillets should be painted. That's the whole point of spending hours sanding them

  • No, I didn't mean to imply you meant to clear coat it, but I've always wanted a clear coat frame, but never had one with nice enough welds/fillets, so here we go, can always get it painted in the future, probably when I go direct mount Paul Racer brakes.
