Well, thoroughly pissed off tonight. I had prepped the frame for a second coat of colour: very light sanding with 600; clean up the 2 rather insignificant blemishes I had introduced in the first coat. Piece of cake.....

Wiped the frame down with a tack cloth; set up the stand and I shot a second coat....son of a B&&&CH...I got paint lifting in a number of areas... Even though I left the paint to cure longer than the instructions had said for recoat time.




*This* is why you pay for professional painters. Oh well, I guess i have to let it dry for a couple of weeks, then clean up the mess I made. Won't be able to respray until spring as I am forbidden from painting in the house, and I have no heated garage. Down to freezing tomorrow so I guess I need to learn patience.

On the good side, I had also painted the fork and even with pitting on the fork ends the result was fabulous so I am sure this will work out in the end. Finding an all chrome fork crown was nice.



@juvela - sorry this isn't a better install-a-mente.
