Jokke_A's endless stream of projects

I started to prepare the frame for paint today.

All screws got loose with a satisfying click and a small cloud of dust. I had to drill out one screw which was surprisingly easy, I do have to remember to tap the thread still.

I placed the hardware so that there's a high likelyhood of finding most parts.

I sanded the easy bits. I have a long roll of sand paper originally ment for a belt sander, it's pretty handy for sanding tubes. For the rest, mostly the tube joints + remains of the chainstay protector, I'll have to use power tools.

The frame has been painted with a brush so the layer of paint is extremely thick. Depending on how well I manage/care to do the base, I have a few options for the paint:

1. Saab Midnight Blue + clearcoat
   
2. Light blue almost resembling VW Meerblau + matte clearcoat
   
3. "rust effect" brown spray paint.
