giant uses intergraded headsets.... so he didnt paint them

yup- you're correct- i didn't look at the pic well enough and thought it was a newer frame.

i shot primer over those cups because they had some scratches in them too. they will get a layer of gloss black.

got the lower color layed.

did you tape off the brake bosses? otherwise your brakes might not go back on...

[03_uni-B]

Sure didnt. A little scuff pad will take it right off if it wont fit.
