But with the new forks on, before changing any other parts I wanted to get rid of the awful paintjob. Briefly looked at professional powder coating but really didn't want to spend £100 on a non functional aspect of this cheap and cheerful build.
Then I saw spray.bike have nice colours for a tenner a can and thought well, I can hardly make it any worse than it currently is.
Spray.bike have all sorts of videos of people doing insanely good multi colour paintjobs. I do not have the skills or patience for that, so instead I just stripped it, gave it a quick rub down, and sprayed their 'peacock' teal all over.
Here it is after spraying. Next up is a finishing clear coat and then once it's cured I will start hanging some new parts off it next week.
