Fuck. I just picked up an old steel frame of mine from the local sandblaster. Some slight rustpitting, but nothing serious. Take it home, do some minor filling with chemical metal, sand, dust it off, wipe it with acetone. Thought I'd just start out by spraying the fork using some Hammerite Direct-to-metal primer-paint-and-topcoat-thing. Weather's nice and warm. Humidity is fine. Shake the can like a maniac and start spraying. Paint runs everywhere. It's milk-like and runny as fuck. And a single can costs £15! Was so looking forward to putting it all together tonight...
