Bike Project: OMG, I hate sanding

The sanding is finally done. Using the paint stripper helped, as did more by-hand sanding. Short of sandblasting, I’d never get all the paint off. So I called it ‘good enough’ and painted the bike with 3 coats of primer.

If I ever have to sand a bike again, I would seriously consider paying someone to sandblast the damn thing.

But before the priming, I filled the two rivet holes on the head tube and sanded them smooth. The holes were left from the old Schwinn badge, which I removed a few days ago. Hopefully my new badge arrives soon! I need it before I can finish the paint job.

Project totals:
Days: 10
Cost: 195
