Rattle can respray

The forks on this were done with the Spray.Bike cans - worked alright. It was important for me to match the frame colour (which is original paint) and I was lucky that the Spray.Bike colour matched.

For this one I wanted to recreate the original colour. I had a recipe for it which someone had worked out using a spectrophotometer and I eventually found the UK supplier - Saris Coatings - who made up 500ml. Applied it with something called a Preval Portable spray gun which I hadn't used before but worked well for solvent based paint. The blobs are grease. I haven't finished it yet.
