Spent a sunny couple of hours fettling yesterday: started building up the elan frame which is going to have the mechanicals from the Pro race donated to it, and I also had a go at the mark on the top tube of the Pro Race.
underneath the dodgy paint repair was a nasty scratch all the way to metal.
I put on a couple of coats of the white that came with my modern Genesis, but it looks a bit too white!
I don't really know what to do now, it's in a very obvious spot so I don't think I can just leave it; my daughter, who's quite good with paint effects suggested sponging some of the [faded] orangey colour over it, or do I just remove it and start again?
Another option I thought I might try was this stuff:
Spray.bike paint.
Has anyone tried this before? I was thinking of maybe a quick spray over the whole of the orange bit, the catalogue shows it was much brighter originally
