Re: Re:

Spot on job!

Did you spray or powder? and where did you get the ferrules?

I used a local power coater to do the work using the Desert Turquoise RAL 5018. Perfect match.
The florescent yellow doesn't have a RAL, but it's essentially a white base with bright yellow. It's also came out spot on.
Under $200 USD for all the paint work.

Ferrules came from Second Spin (as did the decals).

It languished untouched for a year or more before getting motivated enough to pull it from the rafters.
Once I got it to my frame guy for repair (under two weeks) and paint (3+ weeks because they didn't have Desert Turq in stock), it came together pretty quick since I had nearly all the parts ahead of time (and none of it is really all that rare/hard to get). After that it was just finding time between kids and work to hang parts and sift through details.

3-6 months or so start to finish. Most of that because of drop off and pick up scheduling. And I take a long time to set up brakes.
