Work in the open air

The wonderful weather of these days reminds late summer and allows for starting working on a long awaited paintjob of the frame. So these are some pics from the last update.



free floating :)




anti- corrosion primer coat applied


  ...and then covered with a filler

                                                               
                                                           



I worked with spray cans because of the complex shape with a numerous edges, corners, holders, etc...,
which is more handy than working with a spray pistol (at least my pistol, which is swiss made, but truly antique:)) After spraying with filler, the surface must have been sanded and covered with a new layer again. The square diameter of the tubes makes it tricky not to uncover the metal surface on the edges, so the procedure must have been repeated couple of times.
