I'm a bit further on with this one. so after lot of sanding, filling, puttying (is that a word?), more sanding, priming, more sanding, more priming, etc. etc. etc. It went gold @Peachy but then it didn't, as discussed elsewhere the gold I had in stock was really only for use as a basecoat so it then went blue. I know it looks green but trust me it's blue, the can even says so.
So here's some pictures of it going gold and then green (I mean blue) along with one of the offending blue/green paint cans.
This one will now dry for a very long time before I apply the decals and then the 2K clear coat which will give me some time to put together what will go on it to build it into an actual bike. Most of the remotely suitable parts I have in stock I could use are early Campag (Nuovo Record era) so that's probably the way it will go but I have got a box of cottered cranks of different types in the garage and some GB brakes so I'll have a dig through that as well.
