I didn't, but I did put it on a bit too thick there. The polish itself is a little sparkly and fairly hard. For the frame, I will show a bit more restraint on how much I apply. I guess I am a bit of a rookie with nail polish. A softer brush or better quality polish may help a bit too. For 89 cents, I was happy.

I don't understand your question. Are you worried about the polish being too thin compared to your frame paint? The polish that I got was fairly thick. Two coats did the job plus some, but be sure to wipe almost everything off of the brush. It holds a lot more than you think.

Maybe someone with more experience, a woman perhaps, can offer more clear advice than mine.

I did buy some rust preventative for some of the worse spots on the frame. I have a spot that is bubbling and thought that I might want to brush a thin layer over it to stop the rust from growing once I remove the paint. I hope to try out that tomorrow.

Note: This is the first time that I did this, but I had several women helping me pick out a color at the store. I guess they felt sorry for me, thought it was interesting, or both. Just carry your fork in, but don't hide it in your coat or make people think that you have a weapon.
