Step 6Prep and Paint
Go over all your welds again and fill with body filler. Sand the body filler smooth, prime, sand, and prime again.
The paint my son chose was fluorescent yellow and was a flat finish. To make it shiny, I added a clear coat.
The front fork was painted gloss white with a coat of 3M retro-reflective clear. You can really see this bike coming. It's hard to look at in the sunlight!
Painting all the little brackets was time consuming, but worth the effort. I even ended up painting the old Raleigh emblem white and refitting it.
