Painting Tuff wheels

(1/3) > >>

highrisedrifter:
I've been thinking for ages of getting a pair of Tuffs painted in urban camouflage.

Seeing the thread recently where a lot of manufacturers did their own thing with a wheel has now clinched it for me.

Seeing as the best I can do is a few stick figures, i'd like to get the wheels painted professionally.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Many thanks

You'll have to leave them on a show bike unless of course you mean to paint up a Coaster rear and not use a brake on the front as braking with pads will lift the paint straight away. I like the idea though. i was toying with the idea of getting one of my beats painted in desert camo but after a few enquiries I gave up on the idea. Painting camo means lots of fiddly pattern cuts, lots of time,is very tricky and ultimately expensive.

I have painted a few frames and a camper van (bay window van) in german winter camo before and it was very easy to do.
If you are doing tuffs and want black white and grey camo go to halfords and buy 1 large tin of satin black 1 large tin of white primer and a large tin of grey primer then spray the tuffs black as a base coat. Sit down with a scalpel and a roll of fablon then cut out loads of abstract shapes stick them all over the tuffs leaving 1/2  black these will act as a mask rthen spray the tuffs grey. Remove the fablon stickies then put some more on covering the grey and black in places then spray white. Remove the stickies and you end up with a nice camo finish if you have had a nice even spread of fablon stickers.
I will see if I can dig out some pics
