Treating some flaking paint

(1/2) > >>

othomas2:
I want to stop some flaking paint.

it's a survivor & the damage is situated under the BB. The paint that is there seems fairly secure... but for stopping water or whatever gettin in and causing further damage.

Any ideas ?

dj_benice:
coat of clear lacquer maybe? prettier than waxoyl ;D

Waxintaxin:
yea either clear laquer owen or a touch up in paint , either will be OK, assume its white ? so not hard to colour match

othomas2:
I'm not sure I want to use any paint as I'd like to leave the frame free of touch ups. A full survivor. I'd not know where to stop and end up doing a full resto.

Would brush on-clear varnish be o.k. ? //// or do you think lacquer (spray)would be best ?

Also, How do you think I should go about it ? Do I mask it off with a slight overlap onto the paint work ?

Also the paintwork has a gloss finish... do I go for gloss, matt, or satin ? bearing in mind I don't want to draw attention to it. i.e. bare metal.

Help is appreciated.  ;)

thanks
Owen

dj_benice:
yup mask it up a bit into paint, would go for a spray on matt lacquer meself, if unsure try n be cheeky get some samples  and have a go on an old bit of metal :) or take your metal in to b & q n give a cheeky spray or three see which looks best
