July 23rd 2019 - Mercian King of Mercia repaint - Painted, decalled and clearcoated waiting for lug lining

Sorry to keep posting before it's finished but received a couple of photos of the KoM out in the sunshine before it get its lugs lined  :)

Too nice not to share  ;)

Well the magician of a painter Dave sent through these photos of it painted, decalled and clearcoated sitting in the summer sun awaiting another steady handed magician Martin Battison to do the lug work. Lug work and infilling the 'Mercian' on the seat stays etc will be in white. To say I am happy is an understatement, Dave has turned an idea of a nice paintjob into far better a reality than I could have thought. 
It has done many happy miles and is a beautiful riding frame and while it looked just OK before, now Dave has made it look as good as it rides. It has come out even better than I imagined it could.
