Fast and furious, Part 1

A couple of quick posts as parts come together. First off, I painted the stop triple clamp. I would have had it powder coated, but there are rubber vibration isolators for the handlebars which I can't press out and the powder coater won't run their process with any rubber in the part as the 400F oven would destroy them.

These clamps are aluminum so I had to use a special spray primer before the black top coat. Both of these products were applied via rattle-can!

Before:


After:

I'm please the way it turned out.

I'm going to paint the lower fork legs the same way, but it's been raining here past few days.
