Jay Beattie said:Say Suzy, what is your day job? That is the best first frame I
have ever seen. And the paint is spectacular, too. Your
explanation of the process makes it sound like you just point and
shoot, which has never been the case for me, especially with
HVLP. Any drips or drabs? -- Jay Beattie.
Thanks muchly for the compliments. I've just finished brazing up my
second frame, and thus far it's miles better than the first. As for
paint, I probably have made it sound a bit easier than it was. There
was a reasonable amount of experimentation involved, and it still went
on thicker than I would have liked. I bought some reducer for the
paint when I refinished another bike (a crappy aluminium Colnago) and
that was a lot more satisfying - good gloss was really easy to achieve.
I'll see how things go with the touring frame.
Regards,
Suzy
