Title: dupli colour paint
Post by: Skratchski on January 31, 2014, 12:32 PM

I posted this recently with the hope of re doing these hubs.

Nice one insectbones, thaks for that. Looks like the way to go, although am a bit worried the spokes may chip some off as it did on the original finish.
Gotta be better than they are now tho.

excellent stuff..just make sure you leave a few days to harden..and use a good clear laquer like halfords to finish

hey energiza, have you had any problems with it chipping?? i read that its best to use adhesion primer first. have you done any other stuff apart from the parts in your post? im interested in how it stands up cos the paint on my hubs is fairly tough but ive read reports of the dupli colour being easy to scratch/chip.
