Well, this being my 1st powder coated frame too, mulled this over a bit... and chickened out. I must wait until Monday for a fresh bottle of Liquid Electrical Tape (and, this time, in red to match the frame, just in case any of it shows!) I'll need a fine artist's brush to coat, for instance, the inside of the top-tube housing clamps. Kinda funny, I presume that once I 'locate' where each clamp goes, I am unlikely to ever move them to another spot... but I've been surprised before.
