Adrian When you get a chance could you take a close up of some of the work as i am considering doing a whole frame. It would be interesting to see if the smoke finish was a blue or brown based colour, it looks to be brown which is a bummer as it would be good for HL Turbo's. the frame i want to do isnt a HL Turbo by the way.

I got an old goose; no not Phil's mother in law, she should still be pedalling; well i think its old because no brake mounts on the frame.  Anyway I've filled the big dints with bronze and filed them back and undercoated in yellow primer.  I was thinking of trying the yellow metalcast on it.
I will see if i can afford it and put a pic up if it works out ok. It's a mongoose villain and if anyone has a pic or sheet of stickers for it I'd love a picture of them.
Cheers Tim
I just rang supercheap here, they only have red and purple, Wondering if Adrian could tell me where he got blue and if they had yellow.  I'll even rad ya if you tell me.

Supercheap mate, and they didnt have yellow. If you use this stuff make sure you use the grey primer base for it as well otherwise it wont stick.

Thanks Phil, they have the base, I might go with the red, sort of an experiment, but if it covers well the thing should look quite nice.
cheers Tim
