The last paint job I did on my frame was bloody awful so I decided to give some enamel paint a go and to at least try and strip the frame properly first. I busted out some Nitromors and it beat the living daylights out of the graffiti paint, it came right off. Unfortunately as soon as the Nitromors had done its job it started pissing down so I had to paint ANOTHER frame in a dark, small, filthy shed in damp weather. I primed and painted it blah blah blah, then made a truly pathetic attempt at baking the enamel dry using a rotating heater, they paint still wasn't fully hard this morning and I ended up leaving some fingerprints on the top tube but they may come in handy one day! I can't be bothered to write any more now, if it's boring to write then it must be really boring to read.
Primer, enamel gloss, Nitromors, Bianchi cap, Silver Jews t-shirt, boosh!
Ready for action
As dangerous as they make out?
Within seconds!
Within minutes...
...fizzle, fizzle
After some chiselling
Mostly free of paint
Primed in the shed
All the bits wait patiently
A pathetic attempt at baking the enamel dry
Looked nice in the morning
Ready for work
Outside Exist in town
