Title: Custom Decal Creation? Old Rare Decal Replacements Needed!
Post by: ATL on June 25, 2008, 05:09 PM: Im new at this BMX restoration thing, i have just bought a Falcon Prostyler in white, the paint is really bad so im in the process of rubbing it all down for a respray.

I'm no pro at spraying but have done a few bikes in my time. The secret is lots of fine coats and if your going to re do it white again i recomend using white hamerite spray well smoothrite I think it's called as this is more durable and don't forget to wet & dry sand it between coats.

hope this helps.
