Question for the Haro boys...

<< < (2/4) > >>

neiljonarcus:
I THINK DEFFO PAINT IT CHIPS OFF TO EASY FOR POWDER PLUS  "shit cap locks " the neon red and green  is a dual coat system

superbikedan:
i'm just not convinved that many of the bikes where powdered, i only know this

by when i strip them, you can clearly see a base coat/primer then a top coat,

powder has really only took over the industrial finish in the last 20 years,

although powder has been going on for many years it wasnt the prefered

finish :)

MartyC:
My NOS 85 HARO is deffo wet painted and is not a powder, however I can confirm that bike companies were using powder coating bitd as it was a selling point for the Scorpion range of bikes....

pickle:
i think DP used to powder there frames from what i can remember of their adverts  :daumenhoch:

Redline:
I could be wrong but I think most of the early paint jobs were 'wet"!

How many times have we heard people trying to match an old school colour with powder with no luck

... if it's a struggle to match a colour to a powder now then I very much doubt that there was a powder back then  :daumenhoch:
