i think the chance of moisture (either as gas or solid), entering through the cable route hole, is far greater than it entering directly through "thin" paint.
And i agree. But the question was about the tube joint edges and the pump peg was imaged, so my comments are about them.
I have had two of my own frames painted by The Color Factory and have seen two others done by them too (although many years ago). One was really nice. The others were middling at best. But given their cost not bad.
I am curious as to what the white stuff really is. Andy
