From: Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada - burrrrr!

Bikes: 1958 Rabeneick 120D, 1968 Legnano Gran Premio, 196? Torpado Professional, 2000 Marinoni Piuma

To paint lug line trim, use a Sharpie paint pen, it is *lots* easier than using a brush.
This Legnano pin striping was done with a paint pen by an old man with poor eyesight and shaky hands...



I would stay away from model paints. I am not sure how they react to sun light. I use RustOleum or something just like it. Cheap, readily available and easy to use.
