    I find that regular club orange works better, the extra sugar definitely gives it a nicer finish

    I'd say 'cherry cola', in your case.

    You'll need 70% ribena, 25% milk, 5% pepto bismol (sp?).

    Bike Novice.

    you will need 800, 1000,1500 grit sandpaper, can of primer, can of paint of choice & laquer. All this can be got from Halfords.

    Flat down the frame with the 800grit, when you have a decent key wet sand it with the 1000 & 1200.

    When this is all done clean the frame with pre paint wipes.

    Then apply the primer (3 coats should be fine)

    Let that dry for about 25 mins, then wet sand it again with 1200 grit.

    Now painting time, paint on about 5 coats until coverage is even.

    When the paint is dry went sand again lightly using 1200 wet!

    now it is time for laquer give it 5 coats and let it dry, if u start to get runs use a hgair dryer to blow them out.

    This is just a rough idea, take your time preparing the bike and make sure u are in a warm environment


    Hope this is of some help
