oh right! I thought something seemed amiss... I guess powdercoat. It's my first attempt at a restoration so I'm not too sure really. I was going to attempt the paint job myself but I don't have a dust-free, well-ventilated area that I could set aside. Except for a toilet, but a three-day wait might get quite uncomfortable. It's a 1981 Carlton Super Course reynolds 531 frame. Just need a bit of the forks, chain stays and seat stays masked off. I'm in two minds about lug-lining. Could be good as the frame has really nice lug work, but I think it can look a bit OTT
