jay2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 My mate somehow managed to put some dents in each chainstay They haven't affected the strength of the frame as far as I can tell (Onza T-Bird) but it looks naff! What is the best stuff to use to try and build it out so it is neater before I spray it? Thanks in advance. If anyone else has dome something similar, how'd it go?

!!()`/D Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) Vehicle body filler. Make sure that when you do it the conditions are dry and warm and leave it for the recommended time otherwise it will sink and look shit when you paint it and get some filler primer afterwards.

Make sure that when you do it the conditions are dry and warm and leave it for the recommended time otherwise it will sink and look shit when you paint it and get some filler primer afterwards. This is definately your best option, and its relatively cheap as well. Just make sure you prep the surfaces (sand and clean) properly first to ensure you get the best quality job possible. Sometimes it wont be necessary to get filler primer as often its designed to be sprayed straight over, but obviously check the pack first.

bollo you ball-bag Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 mate i honestly wouldn't bother. it will only just get scratched again and look worse than it would if you'd just left it. unfortunately trials bikes get scraped and scratched. its just the nature of the sport.
