Claud Butler 1951 New Allrounder. Almost ready to assemble. I'm waiting for the seatpost and sprocket. My first intention was to repaint the frame. Some guys from bikeforums.net persuaded me to safe and conserve the original painting. At first I stopped the rust. Then I experimented with some self made outlandish mixtures... Finally I used acrylic to restore the sanded areas and a self made pigmented wax to harmonize the different surfaces: rusty spots and areas, primer and top coat. It gaves the painting also a fine gleam.
