last year, we put together a slow road bike / fast townie for my youngest daughter. i had a small frame lying around and a bunch of parts in the parts box. i gave her my favorite wheel off my cx bike and she was happy. well, almost happy. the frame was pretty beat up and faded, so she wanted to be able to paint it. we tore it apart very early this winter, but really didn't get moving on the project until the last couple of weeks.
we got it all sanded
and masked off the good parts
then a coat of primer
then came the CRAZY fluorescent pink
blue for the lugs and "accents" with a nice clearcoat to make it consistently shiny.
and here's the final build.
and... it looks like one of dad's bikes. well, except for the pink, most of dad's bikes like this don't have shiny paint jobs.
