This weekend, after a lot of prep and a lot of help, I got most of the bike painted and ready for final assembly.
Here's the "paint booth"...or at least it was until it started to rain. The frame is ready for paint after much sanding, scuffing, and cleaning.
In addition to the frame, there were about 20 or 30 small parts that needed paint as well. I used an Appliance Epoxy spray paint that is stronger than regular spray paint...we'll have to wait and see.
My good friend, Josh, and wife were a huge help the entire day. Made the tedious tasks of cleaning and painting enjoyable.
After many coats, the frame was hung to dry. A fresh start for final assembly.
All of the little parts were also hung to dry. Was crazy to see all of these parts together, knowing that each was designed, engineered, and hand made for a purpose.
Soon these will be put on the bike and go unnoticed to most. But those that do notice them, will appreciate the thought and craftsmanship that went into each one.
