So next up was the paint

Mercian have a reputation for nice paint

You can go to Mercian

and get a nice retro style paint job included in the price of the frame

my inspiration for this bike was this

I have pretty much gone for the same paint job with different colours

For the colours I chose French blue enamel as the base colour

and Royal blue enamel as the highlight colour

lug lining to be in the Royal blue & transfers in white
