Like you used a paint brush. I suggested this already and he didn't like it.

I pulled this can of paint out of my bike junk cabinet. It's enough for a frame. I wonder which frame should get it. It's probably also sacrilege to make a blue Pinarello red, but I'm tempted to do it. Then there's the olde MTB frame I was thinking of making fixed/SS...

You don't have to wet sand a bike, but it sure makes it pretty. Just get some 1000-1200 grit wet/dry and sand lightly frequently dipping it in the water to keep the grit clean.
EDIT: I've only wetsanded one bike and it didn't have lugs. The whole lug thing might be a challenge.

Lugs help hold all the steel tubes together on lugged steel frames, like the Richard Sachs Newvex Lugs on this sweet Anderson frame.

Yeah. Right.
