Wow! The paint has completely changed the vibe, it's fucking loud! With those tyres too. It looks very purple at a distance (in the photos anyway) so it's cool how it changes to pink and blue when you get closer.

That turned out so well! That paint + tyres = so much win. Nice job

turned out so bloody awesome!

Looking good, what's the dimple on chain stay for ?

Crank clearance.

ah I understand now, track spacing and wide tyres.

Are the rear brake mounts correctly placed? If so, well cool.

That looks super rad built up!

Saw this thought of you...

This looks great! Do you mind me asking how many tins of paint you needed for frame and fork? And how much prep did you do to the base layer?

They should be, I put em on there rather than it being a repurposed fork.

It went,

Two coats of zinc primer, loads left in the can.
One coat of pink, doing the frame and fork pretty much used up the can.
One coat of the crackle paint, kinda added a second layer in a couple places, feels like there's tons of this left. Enough for at least one more frame and fork.
Two coats clear lacquer. Was a half used can, still plenty in it.

I did zero sanding or anything between layers.

That looks well cool. Off to have a look at their feed. Cheers.

nice one, cheers!
