TIMING is everything!
If you do all the right things at just the right time, it all works out beautifully.
Even in humid Florida.
Just don't try to get that during a Minnesota Winter.
I really like the part about the "sink faucet"!
I did my first Italian bike like that, only I used clear red (ie; candy red) over the brushed frame.
Looked like anodized aluminum.
