I've finally stripped all the paint off of my 1993 Ritchey Road Logic for my personal restoration project, and I'm about ready to paint. I'm having a hard time finding resources online to help me understand exactly what areas are masked off to avoid being painted (aside from any obvious threaded areas like the BB and bolt locations) so was curious if anyone could help!
- I'd like to have the dropouts unpainted to avoid the inevitable paint cracking, is it okay to just sand these areas raw and polish them? What should I do to prevent rust in these areas?
- Do you entirely mask off the steerer tube including crown seat? Is protecting from rust an issue here as well?
- Should I mask off my downtube shifter mounts?
Cheers, thanks for any help!
