The decals for the Scapin arrived today, and I did a little happy dance. That means the naked powercoated frame will begin to take life!
While waiting for those to arrive, I have been busy touching up some rough spots where damage occured, and digging out the excess powercoat from the embossed name on the rear stays. You can clearly see how the powercoat was put on very heavy, and when viewing the seatpost tube top, it just looks awful. I have since trimmed that up a bit with a Dremel, taking care to just crisp up the line, and not dig down to the underlying metal.
The comparison photo is from a local bike, where I was able to view and photograph the unmolested example. I'm striving for that appearance.
