Andy King Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 a respray if done well, can add a really cool custom look to an otherwise ordinary frame! i would say go for it, just to be a bit different! If you can afford it (it wont cost too much, £15-30 ish) get a pro to do it, they know how to prep it all properly and wil l have a good work space free of dust etc.A local car repair/restore place is the best place to start, and if the frame is already painted, they might even suggest a sandblast (not as harsh as it sounds!) to get a good adheisive surface!!oh and DEFO go for black! matt black at that! it looks like a stealth fighter type finsh!best of luck mate! we wanna see pics of the finished product!!

GlynnP Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 the best way to get a fra,e pained it to get it doon propally and get it powder coated. spraying yourself is ok and will look gd but the paitn isnt as stringer as powder coating and will chip easier.well i think so anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
