Powder coating - Aurum / Vaz / Armourtex / Respray gallery

Been trying to pick - think I'm going with some sort of cream. Can they throw a little sparkle in?

Thorn is all stripped and ready...

RAL 1035 metallic finish

I'm very happy with it, I think it is kind of greenish gray with a little gold. My wife says it is taupey-gray.

Did you notice that a used Holdsworth head badge just like that went for £155 yesterday on eBay?

Bonkers.

Cheers dude! After the what Carlos said I think I need to get those rivets off you. I broke these putting them back in. Did you get this kind (I don't know the technical name):

Thanks a lot, that is exactly what I was going for. The colour looks a little strange on my work computer screen. I may attach some hi-res tonight when I get home.

I was not going to stick any decals originally, but now that I've seen how nice it looks I think I have to. I Nitromor'd the original paint and oversprays down to the "HOLDSWORTH" logo so I have an idea what to look for. And I'm envious of your 531 Awesome. I love your colour too by the way!

Cheers!

lug lining next?

Errrr, probably not. The frame was pretty beat up when I got it (you can see the dent in the top tube on one of the photos). I had intended on doing as little as possible to it but felt that without a paint job it would annoy me too much. Slippery slope...

Nice holdsworth... 1035 is a metalic goldy colour according to the ral chart in front of me... looks much greyer in the pic...

Anyone got an idea of the RAL match for the Mavic ti grey used on the open pros and some Cxp 12s?

This doesn't make sense... the rivets (normally!?) would have to be put inside out, otherwise
the rivets ends stay where they shouldn't. I'm I making sense?

That's called 'split pin' use to clip soft material but good idea.
If you want more secure fix, use solid rivet(but much thinner) like this.

There should be alu, copper, brass ones and various length and diameter. May be alu is easy to use. And buy these rivet snap (not the simple punch. snap has negative spherical shape at the top) which should be suitable size for the rivet.

To use it, you need solid steel round bar or equivalent slightly thinner than the head tube but long enough so that you can fix the bar with vice or, steady table with c clamp.
Put the rivet from inside the head tube, through the badge, put the head tube with the bits through the steel bar and rest on it. SO that the rivet is pushed against the steel bar. Then hammer the head of the rivet with the punch, till the head become round like mushroom, and secure the badge.
You ve got hammer very carefully and slowly so that you don't damage the badge.
I recommend to do a test before you try on the real.
Hope I m making sense.

If you are on a budget, simply buy alu bar or equivalent in desired diameter, cut it short, hammer it to make your own rivet and use it.

@ Epic and Nuknow - Cheers guys! Epic, that is very helpful. Rivets seem like the way to go.

@ Ricochet - Very lovely! I especially like the tone and the blue rug/red stool compliment the grey nicely :)

so it matches the color of your tires.

er...wow!

That wasn't really the effect I was going for, but as Conti HomeTrainers only come in that shade of yellow it does look like some sort of colour coordination is happening.
