    Its going to look nice! Knowing you its most likely going to look better than when it left the factory!

      Andre, I don't know if it's going to look better than the factory. I wish I had the funds to replace everything that needs to be replaced.

      Ed, you are correct. they hose the paint on in the factory. there were runs on the underside of most of the frame tubing. do they even prime these things before hand? if they do, it isn't much.

        6 bikes that i have stripped didnt appear to have much if any primer. The paint stripper just melted the paint off in minutes. Its my basic impression they were painted and moved on down the line.

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          I partially blasted mine and I didnt see any primer at all.
          Also didnt look like it was dipped or hose painted either. Dont remember seeing any runs.

          Good job Dale!
