    Vintage Trouble

    Hit the frame, forks, and rims with etching primer. Then with sanding primer. IMG_0586 by LowpowerD, on Flickr Wet sanded with 400 grit. Sprayed with some more sanding primer. IMG_0587 by LowpowerD, on Flickr For some reason Santa does not approve. IMG_0589 by LowpowerD, on Flickr
