It looks like you found a perfect paint match.
Did you treat inside the tubes? It looks like it's been wet. It's like that here in VT.
Filed off most of the external rust, then treated with a rust inhibitor. Primed, and painted with nail polish (used two colors and mixed them for the best possible match). This is the first time I've done this. Should I be clear coating somehow, or will this be okay?
I haven't treated the inside yet. The seat binder was the only real bad spot. Inside the tubes looks pretty healthy. I'll get some framesaver and spray it in, but I don't think it's bad enough to warrant a OA bath. Any advice in this regard is much appreciated.
