HARODAVE:
Hey everyone , Dave here , i`m a newbie too ,got a tatty old haro zippo frameset to tart up as i`ve seen some lovley ones done as master reps on bmx museum . Never done any rattlecan work at all and was bricking it , but as i`m on a realyy tight budget and powder / chroming was too expensive , i thought i`d give it a go ,as it wasn`t as if i`d spent hundreds on an old sport or master frameset . Got the idea to use old guitar stands to hold the frame forks and bars whilst painting , used all my old curtains to mask up my little utility room at the back of my house, and it`s turned out good so far , 2 coats of grey primer bought form the local car psares shop , once its painted and stickered i`ll post the results . Thanks all for the top tips i`ve got on here ,couldn`t have done it without all of you guys !! :daumenhoch: heres the berfore ,during ,and up to now pics!! IT`S THE STICKERS I`M REALLY NERVOUS ABOUT :-[

Whoa that looks cool! :daumenhoch: So hows all the masking done do you have templates made or something like that?
trasher:
masking tape m8 ,,,started with a base coloure of white ,then masked off the area that was the next ,and a lot of newspaper to protect the already spayed
areas ,,,and then where the coloures change get some pinstripe(or go faster stripes) from halfords to hide the mask lines :daumenhoch:
p.s i then finished with clear laquer ,,when cured flattend off with some fine wet and dry and then polished it up
