I am repainting a really nice schwinn road frame. Pretty darn nice, even when I had the paint off and uses a neat tube set that would be hard to duplicate today.
the paint job scheme is chrome with a candy violette over the top. This is not real chrome it is actually a paint and this is the first full use on a bicycle I have done. I am learning a whole lot on this one. I have done candies of course, masking, no problem but the chrome paint is another animal. Neat, and my tests show it is pretty darn durable but make a mistake with it after application and essentially its ruined. Painting is a lot of fixing. Fact of life but this stuff you can’t fix so better not screw it up in the first place.
