dirt jumper jake Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Hi mate, first you a going to need to rub the frame down or nitromors it, then you need to primer it and then give it a base coat then a coat of paint, thats how i did mine and it works a treat!

spartan Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 check the wiki is has a really good part about this.Also go to a paint store or body shop, those guys are really good bout paint and stuff.The big thing is to just take your time, trust me if u decide to paint your frame now you wont be riding it for at LEAST 2 weeks!!

eskimo Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 The main thing being;basher? like to dent/ scratch your frame/ don't care, then just spray it a few times with a normal spray can.decent job? do some research, buy the right tools/ paint, take a few days.
