Current Projects chat and miscellany

Got the GF's bike ready for powdercoating tomorrow. last few days been spent polishing up rims, bars and stem having removed all the nobbly bits from the frame. Picked up some alu forks today (thanks Jos) and polished them up to a chrome finish. Saddle arrived this morning, bit greyer than looked in ebay pics but its a proper ladies saddle which I think is more important. At the moment I'm thinking RAL 5024..

Started my first project today. Picked up a nice Olmo today thats just had a few amputations prior to a powder coating. Should be a nice surprise for the GF's birthday:

Gutted I forgot to take a before pic fully assembled, ah well.. got one from the ad
Got a couple of questions:
Is it possible to use any kind of filler for the brake cable holes if its going to be powder coated.
If not would it be an idea to screw the bottle holder screws into their holes, then file them smooth?
Cheers J

First build is now finished, just got to keep it quiet for two weeks :(
