Thanks for the tip Max, but too late for this build. Paint has become very scarce at my local hardware shop since Covid. The choice has reduced down to just a few cans of cheap Fiddly Bits or very expensive Killrust brand spray paints. They once stocked a huge range of paints, but no more. I did find a lonely can of Rustoleum Farm Machinery in orange for the base, but had to settle for Killrust gloss for the white handlebars. I have found it to be the worst paint I have ever worked with. The can suggests a recoat after 16 hours but my advice to anyone is DO NOT do that. I did and it went all wrinkly after an hour or so. Just one coat is fine, but whatever you do, don't add another. I tried silastic once and had the same problem with it reacting with the automotive paint. Lately I've been using super glue, because at least it only requires a couple spots, which is less likely to do damage. Your paint job looks superb by the way! I hate painting as I am allergic to the ingredients and am more likely to make a mess than do a half decent job. That's because I try to get the job done too fast so I can get away from the fumes.
