steve@banbury-trials Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 spray cans are the easyiest way to do it i reckon,that how i've done my bike before.just remember to laquer (sp) the final coat well to help pretect scratches.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladd Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Paiting your frame with a brush just looks tacking and a shitty finish, Aerosol is the best bet mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 You want to do many, many thin layers of spray paint, letting it dry then rubbing it down with wet and dry in between layers, then at the end, rubbing it down and coverig it with several layers of laquer.
