Gold leaf on..
Also placed graphics on the down-tube which will be done soon. At present the frame has had some of the lacquer taken back so it's matte, but once the lacquer is on the sparkles in the paint, the metal-flake and the gloss will all work together to give you a seizure.
We're going to be using a new durable lacquer which I can't wait to see the results. To give a realistic view of the paint-work, I'm contemplating giving this frame to a courier for 365 days and see how hard they can hammer a bike in a year..
Alternatively I would like to keep on building this up, then stripping it again and going for a different paint-job just to give some variety.
also uploaded a few more pics on the Facebook page;
