... some keirin frames come with the name' finish. anyone know how this is applied, etc.

... i kind of like it. reminds me when i was little and went to my first custom/hot rod car show.and saw a led-sled chevy painted out in full metal-flake. the late ed roth sold a paint kit and if i recall ... it's application required lots of sanding and many clear coats.

... on these lugged steel frames though it's no different than any other painted frame. anyone in the usa doing this ...
