Beautiful job. Did you use the #1108 brush enamel or the #1208 rattlecan? I've got an opaque blue Paramount that needs a little of the same treatment.
I used a mixture of #1111 and #1108 brush enamel, applied to the small chips with a toothpick. Tedious and slow, but at least Opaque Blue is forgiving!

Love the upwrong bars, but that stem's gotta go!
Much too much reach.
Hey, you have to start somewhere! Besides, that is my GB stem with the recessed allen bolt. I paid 25 cents for it (with a set of bars and barcons) at a swap meet and I am going to use it! :D
The reason I used it is based on the measurements she was comfortable with on her old Raleigh. It had more upright ATB bars. I tried to maintain the distance she had before. Nothing is cast in stone, or wrapped in tape, so change is both possible and possibly good!
