Title: After spraying pedals.......
Post by: macky on August 04, 2008, 06:12 PM

I just spray painted my pedals......

I'm told if i stick em in the oven... it'll bake the paint hard??

Is this true... has anyone else tried this??

No it wont.The best way is to just leave them for a couple of weeks until the solvent in the paint has evaporated. Can you ride your bike with no pedals. :)

tbh i couldnt advise on plasti-kote, if it was a two pack hen yes it's fine in the oven,

why dont you set the oven to 50 and leave then in for an hour :daumenhoch:
