JsyJoel93 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 You can DIY but you need a wee bit of skill to get the layers think enough to give a good finish, but not too think to run. If you get it powder coated professionally it will have a perfect finish but will set you back around £40-60.The choice is yours, spray or pay.Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed Pants™ Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 The pic of my bike i posted up cost me 30 quid, consisting of: 2 orange sprays, 1 white primer, 1 clear gloss, assorted sandpaper and a marker pen. All bought from halfords, cans there are pretty much 6 quid each and are perfect for spraying basically anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenhopper Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Just throw as many thin layers as possible at it. Rub it down with water and super fine wet & dry between coats. Don't worry if you're not getting proper coverage. That will come with more layers. And try to leave as long as a day between each round of sanding / spraying. You'll get a great finish if you're patient enough. I sprayed my frame in my sitting room with a sheet over the couch & the frame hanging from a clothes horse.

All bought from halfords, cans there are pretty much 6 quid each and are perfect for spraying basically anything.Yours looks poor. You payed £30, It costs around £40 To get it done by a pro. You could have atleast took the chain off. Jeb. Edited February 15, 2007 by wang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
