Bad picture... its a 'naked' frame. I striped it and clear-coated it on my own. I was having a tough time deciding what colour i want it to be. After i striped off the paint, i like the raw steel look. i filled in the lugs with some yellow paint using a paint pen. and thats it. surface rust is showing now... and its making it look more 'rat'.

I'll post up the entire process in "Member's Build"
When the rust gets bad, i'll send it for professional clear coating... this time i will include some MERCIER stickers in yellow.
