Frame Spraying

<< < (3/4) > >>

Pooch:
I'll get Dan to wet spray this..

john4130:
i spray can my bikes, i use graffiti paint i buy online for about £3 - £3.50 a tin. the range of colours are huge so you can get pretty close to a colour match plus the satisfaction of doing it yourself. it will never be as good as the quality of SBD's work, but it's good enough for me. i painted my 88 master myself, i used the decals to try match the colours on screen and got almost a perfect match.

Dr Skyway:
It's more the memory of spraying my bikes that makes me want to try again, wouldn't be hard to better my incompetent attempts as a kid.... :LolLolLolLol:

Does SBD strip the frames? should probably look at the sticky thread.....

I remember it.  :) That's my thoughts they were always paint never powder.  :daumenhoch: Although I can understand why having powder for a rider.  :)

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?

Plus he also does wet painting - he did my ripper & that came out lovely

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  :)

Yeah it scratches much easier than powder
Just ask Carl  :LolLolLolLol:








I'm slowly turning it into survivor spec  :teef:
