Am concerned about long term rusting (though I suspect the rust won't be the first thing to kill this bike, so maybe I'm concerned about it looking pretty???) Cheers Stuart Let's say I sand, prime, spray, and lacquer my bike myself (because the bike was cheap and so am I) - how could I apply some good-looking lettering? Would Letraset(TM) work? Are there other suitable lettering systems? Presumably you would stick the letters on before lacquering? Anyone tried this or have any ideas? You could try decopaje (sp?) on the bike - would make it interesting and you'd get in good with your aunties ;-) Tim |
