That looks great! What the plan for the parts - stick with the DX groupset?

Tell you what mate that's what I meant when I said these frames shine looks like a brand new frame you can't see the touch ups good job the white you used do you think it would match a clockwork with the orange white fade cheers
@Fam Allen Great progress Lewis! - I've been meaning to get round to adding something here for ages.
Firstly. Thanks for the kind words on The Endeavour. It was good to meet you when I dropped it off. Looking forward to seeing what direction you take that one in.
Secondly. The Al-Mega DX. Great project and the progress you've made so far looks really good. One of the Iconic early 90's Colourways - absolutely of it's time and a definite favourite. I am biased though.....going back a good 12 years + now, I did my own Al-Mega DX restoration. (Sadly long gone....although I still have the matching Jersey!) Getting things like the decals wasn't as easy then. I wish I'd have had something like the set you've got for yours - I ended up creating my own from Vinyl cuts and adding those tiny neon parts all by hand.
Mine was a full respray - The neon yellow was Halfords but the Pearlescent white came from the excess paint mix of a Ford Kuga show car!
You've done well with you touch up's to getting the frame looking so good!
Keep up the good work! - here's my thread ..and some pics for inspiration.
Cheers.

Hi all. 
Purchased from GT-Steve as a frame and fork sometime ago
- Progress on my Alpinestars AL -Mega DX has been painfully slow.
The frame and fork had been painted in a green airbrush fade that I could only describe as an 'A-Level design project'.
First thing was to hand strip the paint using nitromors to reveal the condition of the frame and fork. At some point in it's life, there had been a small lengthways fracture in the top tube that had been repaired.
Unfortunately, to get to the bare metal, they'd taken an angle grinder to a localised area and had ground...
