Viola: First Painting

Decided to paint the fork bridge, just to get a first look at how the color sits on the bike.  Also need to start nailing down a very precise painting process before I get to the bigger pieces.

This time around, I sanded down the old paint with 220, then did 2 coats of primer and about 3 coats of paint.  Finally light-light-heavy clear coat.

I think I need to spend more time prepping the surface because any blemish just gets highlighted by the paint.

In between coats, also finished stripping down the fork ears.
