    some places where its not completely dried has got some marks from the news paper. 😒

    Get it redone unless you want the paint to chip off in those exact place.

        Is that painted and left to dry in ambient temperature or baked?

          The painting was done and left to dry in ambient temp as this is a small paint shop actualy my mehaniv told we will not disassemble thr parts and give it for paint rather just make the bike stand and paint it so that it becomes cheap as well as it has the parts intact without getting missed.

              Whoa buddy. Don't go for cheap. :O

              You want your bike to last at least 5-10years right? If you go for cheap stuff the bike will start falling apart again to the point where you'll start loosing interest in it. And then at one point it'll start rotting in a corner again.
              Btw the pic's broken again

                Balgi you nailed it your right thats why i told him not to do that and hence i have asked him to do like a regular restoration 😊 thats why you guys can see the frame seprately painted and as of not only these parts which i have posted has come from the painter i have told him to take his time as its been raining here for the past 4-5 days so he has told me after the sun is shining bright he would start the remaining aprts I am OK with it ☺️ any how still hunting for parts 😵😵😵
