<< < (2/2)

bmx xxx:
i must admit for my lastest build which should be finished very soon,
i sprayed it over xmas, and normaly would have took it to the powder coaters and just picked it up a few days later
and thought no more of it,
i am glad i done the spaying looks the nuts,
prep is very important :daumenhoch:
if you mess up let it dry rub it down,
have a go, all the best

The chrome is being stripped off the bars right now, then I need to rub them down and ensure all the nickel is gone and then start the priming process. I'll do the prime, then wet dry, then prime again and wet dry to ensure its really smooth and silky before I add on the plasti-kote paint. Gary, wouldn't mind seeing a photo of your frame and how that turned out dude  :daumenhoch:

i know its not a frame bit i did this bumper with rattle cans :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
mind you it had about 3 weeks work in it :shocked: :shocked:
and by the time id finished it would have been just of cheap to get it done professionally :2funny:

PHIPPSIO:
I have used standard automotive paints in the past. Just a case of getting enough coats on and as has been stated making sure you use wet and dry between each coat to ensure its even, no runs and the next coat can key to the abraded surface. I tend to finish with two coats of clear laquer which makes it shine like a proper job.

Swivel:
