new paint for no name frame

In an earlier post I shared some progress pictures of my latest project frame. Today was a good day to paint in the back yard, so I finished the final coat of top coat. I used an automotive paint.

Before:



after sand blast:



today's final coat:








Now the hard part - to have enough common sense and patience to let the paint harden before I start to put it together. I am going to use spare parts I have on hand, mostly Campagnolo NR components. The frame looks like it is an early 70's vintage. It has Columbus tubing, Campagnolo drop outs and bottom bracket braze ons. The rear wheel spacing is 120 mm.
