Frame Spraying

(1/4) > >>

Dr Skyway:
So who on here sprays their own frames with cans? you know rubs them down, undercoat, rub, undercoat, rub etc etc......always did this as a kid.

Also how thick is the powder coat that SBD does?

griff:
Not me, would rather send it to SBD as I know I'll get a flawless finish without being too thick & blobby
Plus he also does wet painting - he did my ripper & that came out lovely

BMX1973:

Do more people tend to get their frames wet painted now, than powder?  ??? I prefer the look of paint.  :) Was your ripper the blue one?

I think most people go for powder as it's more durable, but I went for paint as being thinner than powder it helps show the details of the welds better (& they were painted BITD anyway)

And yes it was/is blue  :)

Dr Skyway:
cheers guys, I always worry about powder as I've had a few frames that have had a right good coating, might go down the wet paint route then.... :daumenhoch:

Will check out the SBD thread again.

Although think I will can spray my DP from BITD......labour of love an all...
