  • So yesterday I went to my local shop to buy a product that could protect the paint and keep the rust stable, as I decided to keep the frame as it is.

    The spraycan said that it could be possible that the product interacts with the paint, in a bad way. I didn't pay much attention to that and started using it. Big was my suprise to see it interacting almost instantly with the blue/greenish paint.

    I took my steel brush and started removing that paint, only to discover gold paint underneath!

    I was really hoping to discover a brand, or a name from a shop or anything like that, but I discovered nothing. Well, not nothing, I did discover lines. White and blue ones, like this. It's definitely a pattern, anyone who recognizes it?

    I cleaned the crank too, came out nice!

    And this is what I have at the moment. A frame with a nice mix of blue/green and gold.

    So where do I go from here?

    • use paint stripper and remove it fast (almost instantly), so only the blue/green paint gets removed
    • use more of that protection product and see if it interacts on the other parts too
    • leave it like this

    Thanks!
