Nick Dale Posted February 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 dont spray it gold for the love of god! spray it black. nice and original and will contrast nicely with the gold ← LMAO!! im no chav (Y) i do have some sense :- i was thinking black but still the question sits as: Would it be ok to just spray over the top of the anodizing and how many coats of what would i need :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the666ers Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Check the faq :rolleyes: I'm not 100% sure on the anodizing, I think if you sanded it and tested it first it would make sense, the problem is the paint may react with the anodizing so would be best to check first.

RicH_87 Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 (edited) I sprayed my t-pro white. You can't get the andonizing off at home so i just roughed the surface up (sanded it down until it was dull) then washed it and dryed it. That was my prep stage, then i sprayed a few coats of metal primer, and let that dry. Then i sprayed it my colour (white) and kept it in a warm place after everycoat (it helps the paint dry harder). Then i covered the lot in loads of clear acrylic (laquer) and let that dry. The laquer is the most important bit, it help set a clear, tough protective layer over the whole thing. (Y) I did my x-alp forks using the same process and they are fine too. :- EDIT: HANDY HINT - take your time. I know its tempting to rush and do an extra coat after 30mins or whatever but in the long run you'll regret it. The longer you take, the longer the paint will last :rolleyes: Edited February 10, 2005 by RicH_87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 nick arnt you able to get it done where Dan got his done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty-trials Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Spray straght over the top (Y) will be fine! also put plenty of WHITE primer on..as the colour will stand out loads better...Put a LOT of layers of paint on aswell, as they scratch easy! Hope this helps.. Just clean the frame VERY well and get rid of all the grame etc...clean the scratchs aswell... Scotty :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
