Hey lads. :) I had a Suntour stem through the post this morning from OrgasmDonor (thanx Daz m8).
I've picked it up to re-furb then put onto my Kuwi'.
Just after it arrived...

After a quick session with Nitromors...

Right, anyhow I'm going to be coating it in black.
So should i bother attacking it with Oven pride to strip the anno off or should i use the anno as a base to coat over?
Rattle can should cover the anno (after a keying in) shouldn't it?
Or would it still need some primer?
Or just strip totally then , primer, top coat?
Any thoughts? Grem'. :daumenhoch:

Yeah you will need to remove the anno first. Last one i did i just dusted it with a light primer and then straight into paint. I tried painting a red anno shainring last year and it just doesnt take
:daumenhoch:

gav you will need to use an etch primer on it before you prime and paint ;)

Hey Phil. So use etch primer then primer before top coats ? Cool. :)
I hope the layers aren't going to build up and wipe out the Suntour text ? G. ???
-
gav you will only need to dust on a light coat of etch primer then a couple of light coats of primer then paint,so you shouldn't have any probs with logo ;)

Thanx m8 :) If i go too mad i can always strip and try again, and again :D G. 8)
