old sock as a rag? Nice thinking, I do the same.
Fun project though. Did you prime an clear with the spray.bike stuff?
oheyitsd-
Yeah, most my rags are old socks…
Ruffed up the old paint and tried to sand out the raised logos and paint changes. Worked ok. Put two layers of spray.bike, sanded and now sparkle clear coat.
Somewhat fucked up the clear. The close distance needed for the base colour messed with my head and I struggled to keep the longer distance the clear needed. Gonna try to sand and reapply. Wouldn’t have cared that much but the runs with sparkle looks dirty.

Don’t mean to make it a “tattooed Barbie” bike but I guess that’s what it is…
Also put some time into polishing a pair of crank arms that is had laying around. Was really ugly truvativ cranks, but I think they worked quite well in silver.
