Here’s some pictures of the frame with new paint, but still not clear coated.  The paint job is not very good but the coverage is good and the color is consistent.  I’m hoping that a coat of clear gloss will make it look good without any more work.

The unpainted lugs look awesome, I hope they stay shiny with a clearcoat over the bare metal, and the clear doesn’t get cloudy or flake off.  I will have to see.  Another idea that was suggested is to do primer, paint them with silver paint and then add the clearcoat, which would ensure that nothing funny happens.

Here it is with the crankset on, a seat from an old mountain bike, and with wheels from my road bike.  These wheels have to stay on my other bike, I’m hoping to get a set of deep-v wheels soon.
