But i ran a maggie on it and now Ive gone back to disc, want the hole rim to be black, Is it worth it having it powder coated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Why would you spend £40 on a bike to sell it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 If it was black as new, it may have been hard anodised black (like the Planet-X LMF, BMF, etc) in which case Nitromors won't do jack. You'll need caustic soda, and definitely a pair of safety specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 spray, nitromorse or leave it. too expencive for something that isnt very important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 go team spray paint, i did a shity job, of mine, it looks fine unless you get up close and personal with the rim, i couldn't justify more than a £5ers worth of spray paint for a part like rims that will get smashed + thrown away, unless i was getting a frame powder coated + they offered to do the rims for a good price to boot.

davey1991 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 spray, nitromorse or leave it. too expencive for something that isnt very important. Huh? Rim, not important? Where have i been. Powder coating for a small item like a rim may last a while and look the part, but it just isn't worth the money. Do alot of parts on bulk.

Ash-Kennard Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Huh? Rim, not important? Where have i been. as in its 40 quid for a new rim in the colour you want new or its 300+ for a new frame in that colour... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
