I tried to match the original color that I found on the fork tube as best as I could but chose a metalic flake to cover imperfections better. Plus it will be easy to touch up in the future. It also got new-to-it bars salvaged from an old Huffy Regal. The Regal also gave it's bottom bracket cones for the cause. I spent a ridiculous amount of time with steel wool, and a dremel tool wire brush on those rims. Next time it's oxalitic acid for me.
Nice result. Was trying to determine whether you had done a good job painting, or a phenomenal job polishing.
