Here's the frame after the better part of a day of curing, after the first coat.
I'll sand this coat with some 3000 grit then shoot another coat on. I'll be lining the lugs with gold paint, as originally painted, then I'm going to clear coat it with a 2k epoxy. That should kind of hide the blemishes I can still see here and there. As soon as payday rolls around I'll be ordering a set of decals and a headbadge from Rotrax (who knows, as I'm scheduled to start my new job on the 30th but HR and hospital compliance/occupational health are all messed up right now, so it may be in October.)
