Black 31.8 flared drops in either 52 or 58 at the ends. Hoods are much narrower. I like the 58. I got a 52 at a great price from Analog, and Candace said “you probably won’t like it if you’re over 5’2”. She was right, at least with the Ritchey Force stem on the RoadLite. I swapped for a 58 and

Hey! Thanks! I’d say for something small like that, it’d be pretty easy. You can thin it slightly with mineral spirits, or just use it out of the can. It is oil based so you need to use a small brush made for that and clean it with mineral spirits right after, otherwise the brush will be ruined.
