nope, i finally got it all stripped out, except for a couple of tiny spots, in the triangle by the seatpost binder bolt area. oh, and i forgot to answer your other question, as for paint, i am not sure yet, definantly something from the auto world, something i can hardener to. but not sure until i pick colors. and i will be spraying it on with a spray gun, i dont know if an airbrush would work, unless you bought specific needles, because mine, would need new needle, head, and the inner tip.
