Well...it`s done now. Of course i didnt paint over the paste. Degreased the paint, than ltos of sanding, degrease again, paint. Looks like a new bike now, but so fragile, because its matte black. I hope im wrong, but even if it chips, the layer underneath its still black so its all good. Now I`ll have to spend the whole day adjusting the brakes and deraileurs and stuff cause errything is off now.

Because of my slight form of OCD. I`m a maniac when it comes to detailing and everything just has to look perfect otherwise I can`t sleep at night. And since the old paint was scratched all over, I had to do something about it. Polishing didnt work...so...I had to paint it.
