Bob Jackson painted

I was planning to get my frame powder coated but the fellow doing it was having a lot of trouble with taping in the lugs with the heat resistant tape. Another method he tried (wiping the powder off before baking) failed also so he gave up. I got the frame back from him with a partial job done so it has a good base to spray on and he didn't charge me anything for the blasting and initial coating.

Long story short I brought it home, got some RAL 2011 mixed, dusted off my painting equipment and shot it. It turned out good considering I had no suitable place to paint except for one sag I wont bother to fix under the seat clamp bolt. Applied the decals From H Lloyd and some others I made now I wait for the transfers to dry.

I printed some solid panels instead of painting them on the frame and now where they overlap it looks darker. I may cover this area with pinstripe but I am undecided. Looking for thoughts on this.
