Doesn't look like it, but did you clear coat the painted parts? Where does the gloss come from, WD-40...????
Best looking bike right now ...great job!!!

That's "boiled linseed oil" over the paint. Once applied it give it a wet glossy look even after it dries!

Thanks!

If you liked my bike go vote for it in the best patina thread by liking it's picture!

This is my favorite unmolested bike in the buildoff. If there were no customization allowed, this would have won easily IMO.
