As I had promised 大黄 I will do her up nicely since winning 4D, I had both her tires & fork seals changed the day after I returned from Bangkok. Not only that, I had bought 2 cans of paint. A bright yellow & a clear lacquer.
While waiting for the mechanic to start work on her, I stripped off the rusty parts mainly being the 2 rear shock protectors & the IU rack. I scraped off the rust with a metal wire brush & cleaned them with petrol before washing with soap & water. After drying it under the hot sun, I sprayed all 3 items bright yellow! 3 coats of yellow & 2 coats of lacquer. Now the only thing left to do is to clean off the stains on the end can. I had previously tried to wash it off but to no avail. Maybe I'll try autosol the next time.
