Killer Joe!!!!

Sweet!

It's gorgeous, Joe. So it is done in one-stage? I don't use lacquer so I don't know if 2k lacquer exists. What are the advantages of lacquer instead of urethane?

[Joe Buffardi]

It is a one stage laquer. And to get the luster you have to sand between every coat. 1000 grit. It is old paint that I have had for a while. I like to use it because when it dries it's like glass. Thank you all for the kind words. Oh and just to let you all know. I received this frame in gray primer. Somebody else stripped it. It was originally black. When I removed the bb cups there was a really nice black left over inside the bb shell and head tube.

Was that the one off eBay that was partially stripped (selling from the new jersey area) ?

[DAN]

That rules Joe!

I think that one was bought by KILRGT from the museum Marcos and powdered blue.


....and this looks cool with the red fork.

[COASTY]

Very cool Joe. I'd love a GJS someday.
Very nice paint too.

[Mark Mc]

Nice. Love those stickers.

Do you offer painting services? I have a Gen2 GJS that was already stripped down and needs a repaint. It was OG red (paint in the BB).

[Cycle24-7]

+3..........good show!

[OC Dave]

Great skills you got there Bro,Da paint is almost as old as the frame.... havent heard anyone talk about that stuff in a LONG time..

[daripper]

Looking like a great start to the build... very nice !!!

[se666]

Killer Joe!!! The bars look like GT. I love the first gen GJS frames.

[Just..Me..Chillin']

Either way - that's a stunner ..... I just asked cuz I wonder what became of the one forsale from out here on the ec. I always had a soft spot for the various A frame designs. I'd take a whole set up if given a chance f/f/bars/post in og condition, but I don't love'em so much I'd try chase'em down for half my life either, Doh !
