The frame arrived with various small chips i can live with, but with some paint missing from the BB and some bubbling on the left seat stay.
I removed the bubbled paint and found only a light brown surface rust, which came away with light sanding. Both areas had 2 coats of acid etch primer applied with a brush, followed by 3 coats of enamel. Luckily, we have a box of touch ups in the workshop that's been collected over the years, and i got an almost exact match to the cobalt blue metallic! Its not perfect, but it'll do me.
Primer applied:


Searching for a perfect match!

Handy to have someone with artistic talent (my daughter) on hand...
