Yesterday after getting home from work I set about modifying the frame a bit. I cut off the Cantilever brake stop, and smoothed out that section of the frame. Then it was time to paint. I went over to Home Depot and looked through all the paint. It's definitely not the largest selection, but I don't care that much. So I grabbed a can of flat black. I came home, set the frame up, and started spraying. I got the first coat on then wanted to let it dry somewhat before a second coat. So I went in and watched an episode of Doctor Who. Went out and applied a second coat. Then another episode of Doctor Who. After that I brought the frame into the garage to dry overnight.

So far so good!

Today right after getting home I set it back up and applied a 3rd coat. Perfect. Right now it is drying and the plan is to let it dry for at least 48 hours before I start messing with it again. Since I didn't care much about masking I'll have to remove the paint from the V-Brake standoffs, and clean up the bottom bracket threads. Simple stuff!
