Yeah, I don't have a compressor so I got the guy at a paint supplies place to knock me up a couple of cans of U-Pol custom paint and it worked out OK for me.
Obviously, it would never be as tough as powder but it's kind of a happy medium and you get to keep the OG decals.
You could always do it properly if you know someone with the gear. :daumenhoch:

Re Powder >:D
Like any old girl, they all need a little work so they look their best :coolsmiley:
threaders:
Well fellas :) Picked it up from the powder coaters :daumenhoch: and managed to straighten out the seatpost a little :daumenhoch: Powder is pretty thick, you can just about see the GT logo on the back of the frame ::)
Had to strip the powder of the lower part of the seat post in order for it to fit into the frame ::) began to build it up today:
Found some original pro performer decals on the us ebay, worked out at £15 for the set including shipping :)
Just need some cables, pedals and brake blocks and a headtube decal, I have everything else for it sat in my spare room :)
Chromo Buzz:
Nice one chap :coolsmiley:, really like the colour way you got going on there. Look forward to seeing it complete :4_17_5:
