Hey all
I have a 1980s Falcon sport-touring bike that I'm currently riding as a single speed 'cross bike. The paint wasn't very good when I got it, and is only getting worse, with the patches of existing rust growing and the odd chip.
What's the best way to match the original paint and get it repainted? The frame isn't particularly worth much, so I'd prefer to do it myself than send it off and get it done.
Thanks!
