The paint is finished. I love how shiny it looks. I will take it to The Bike Guy tomorrow so he can repack the bottom bracket and reassemble everything.

Yup. I sanded the original paint, taped the chrome, primed/sanded/primed, painted, and clear coated. I wish i could afford a real paint job, but I think it turned out really nice. And I did it myself! That will make riding it even more fun.

I love the color. My goal is to own a green bike. I look good in/on green.
