Nice. Do you have to clear coat it?

I'm not sure, it's something I'm looking in to, I guess it would probably be wise, and protect the finish/frame further

Looks rad! been thinking about repainitng mine. Was this originally the grey/red/yellow paint scheme?
Posted almost 11 years ago
Yeah this was originally coated in the CAAD5 red/yellow with grey background
The gentleman who had it before me stripped it.
I've still got a lot of sanding/stripping and most importantly polishing left to do, hopefully get it as close to mirror as possible then get it clearcoat lacquered.

Very nice but black seatpost and stem doesn't fit with the frame

I tried silver seatpost and stem but my opinion, and that of everyone who saw it, was that black looked better!
