adding the boss for bottle cage and 12th practice and painting

My 12th practice to ride python.
Just I can ride for longer time and on more straight line.
I made bosses for shift gears with metal lathe by myself.
For bottle cage, I used M5 nuts.
I tried soldering them, but I couldn't. Maybe more power of torch is needed, I guess.
At first, 2 holes which the diameter is 6 mm are made on Folk of Seat back.
Then, Each M5 Nuts are welded.
I forgot taking the picture.
 I polished each parts to paint.
The setting is like this. Drill has brass wire brush.
 To fix the front whell, I grinded the rectangular. But the thickness became too thin and made hole. So I grinded the parts more and iron plates were welded.
Then putty ! I used polyester putty for body of car.
 My bad skill of welding is hidden. But that isn't the subject. The smooth surface is tough. I made such surface.
Then I painted the foundation to paint, then I painted them blue. The color splay for car is acrylic. I think urethane paint is needed to protect the surface. But it's expenshiver ! I can't buy it. This time I used them for car. But we can buy more cheaper acrylic splay paint. I don't know whats the deference of them.
If I use such cheaper acrylic ones and urethane clear coat, that's better combination, I noticed that now. It's later already.

I don't need noticing the rust !

Fine.
