My wife - no red star - has no album.

Neither do other signed-in participants with no red star.

All you need to do is find someone with a titanium level, and click on their user profile.

How do you identify a titanium member?

In an earlier post you mentioned using an agressive etching primer. Does the Duplicolor primer fill that bill? My fixed gear has aluminum main tubes and steel stays. When I painted it a couple of years ago, not knowing any better, I primed it with some Rustolium product and I havn't had any paint adhesion or chipping problems.

I'm thinking that I'll have better luck matching my handlebar tape with Duplicolor than Rustolium. Then again, it looks like I'm going to score a free paint spray gun from my son. That'll open up a whole new world of things to learn about. Part of the point of this project is to teach myself new stuff.

I clicked on some other red stars and no photo album??

I posted a question in the User help forum:

"Who does and who does not have access to a photo album on their user profile page?

It seems to be inconsistent."

They have about the same porportions as steel members but magnets don't stick to them.

Retro..Although I was going to use the Duplicolor etching primer, there does not appear to be an equivalent in the Rustoleum lineup. (at least not in any of the 7 different stores I tried) I settled for Rustoleum's standard automotive primer. It is my hope that the agressive "tooth" of the sandblasted metal provides better adhesion than smooth aluminium.

IMHO Duplicolor has more range of great colors for this application, but Rustoleum has always stuck like glue to everything I've done. I have even "decanted" Rustoleum by spraying it into a jar and then used airbursh equipment to spray it.

Allegheny Jet has an album. I'm beginning to suspect that the member has to make the album "public" on their profile page for it to appear to all.

On your user control panel, 2nd group down "networking", there is an albums (last item in the group). When you get there and "add an album" you will be presented with the option of "public" in the click dots.

OK, I logged in as my wife (no red star) and she does NOT have an "album option" under networking.
