Hope you spare the hearse of primer...

@MazdaFlyer
Lol, you noticed that, eh?
The rear door handle made a great holder for the fork AFTER I sprayed it, a good distance away from my black company fleet.

Stripping the old paint from the frame is coming along (slowly)... but I have reached the point where I had to remove the head badge. If that’s the original colour under it, it’s a close match to the colour of the primer I’m using.

You can’t help but just admire the old ways of building bicycle frames...

Loving that Benotto, Troy! I'm a sucker for old diamond frames, especially Italian!

Sanded up after 2 coats of filler primer (surprised it didn’t need much at all).
Ready for a primer sealer coat tonight. I’m going with a black sealer.

Nice. I like what you’re doing with this. Makes me contemplate keeping my Healing frame as is instead of modifying it.

Head tube lug treatment today.

Glad the chrome paint market actually offers paint that looks like chrome. Now, just not to screw it up when I paint the rest of the frame.
