Awesome work on the Kili so far mate but be careful that you don't put to much paint on the seat post or it will be a right pain getting it to fit the seat tube ..

Cheers Muddy Paw its nearly at the finishing stages,that's a good point about the seatpost aswell. I've done two light coats of undercoat so might do a coat of black then wait till it drys and try it for size coz there'll be a coat of laquer aswell.

Nice to know that your almost their with the Kili and i'm really eager to see the final results but yes your going down the right path with the paint on the seat post but you may still need to thin the primer down a bit with a very light flatting off before the black paint goes on if your using lacquer mate ..

Re:

Decided to redo the skewers,bit of primer then gloss black and some clear laquer to protect them a bit and give them a nice shine. Next bit the crank arms and chainrings to bring them back to life again.

The skewers should look pretty good when sorted but ideally the rubbers should of been removed off the none lever end and replacements found ..

I had a look on eBay and found a 50 piece o ring set for £1.78,so that's in the post
