The temperature is supposed to go into the high 40's this afternoon. I'm thinking that I'll put my little electric heater in the garage and go with option #3 (clear coat, buff and wax). This time, however, I'm going to warm the spray can in water first.
I wasn't happy with the look I got when I wet sanded a section with #1,000. Maybe a few coats of clear would bring the gloss back but, if it didn't, that would mean stripping and repeating the whole process. I'm not willing to take that chance.
I'll also confess to being a little impatient about putting the bike back together again. Each day that passes Spring gets that much closer. It'll be fun to ride it again.
Now if my LBS would ever get my Open Pro rim in I could lace up my Chris King front hub.
