dannytrialskid Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) Hello, Have wanted to nitromorse my forks for a long time now, well ever since I got my Limey 320. Seen many pictures of Limey 320 with silver forks and looks really nice, so stripped my black paint off and obviously turned them silver. Only had B&Q Paint and Varnish remover, however it did the job nicely, but very very slowly as it isn't as just as the proper nitromorse. Ran out half way unfortunately so will have to buy some tomorrow. This time the proper stuff. Looks a bit like a leapord - in a new dimension I guess! My first time doing it, so took a while ha, all good now though, so when I get the proper stuff tomorrow it should go quick! Pictures below: Will update tomorrow when finished. Update: Got the proper nitromorse. Worked quicker here it is: Edited December 7, 2010 by dannytrialskid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_ruskin Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Looks nice, silver forks are best on a 320. But was there really the need for an entire topic about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people post topics when they nitromorse and respray their frame and post pictures when they change something on their bike? Same reason; to show people their work. And yeah, silver do look better on 320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam T Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 But was there really the need for an entire topic about it? Feel the same way. Nitromorsing is pretty simple and not even that interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Alty Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) I was going to do this to my forks too, but spray them white. Once uve stripped the paint, how do u then spray them properly? 1 Undercoat (Primer), 2 coats of white spray, then 2 coats of laquer? Sorry to hijack . Also if i wanted to respray my frame (d.o.b. magnesium alloy) would i need a special type of primer/paint, as the paint may corrode the metal?

And I have no idea for the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Quick tip: Cover them in Nitromors, and ten pour boiling water on them. Strips the paint off quicker, and it goes all bubbly and froffy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannytrialskid Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Fair enough mate! Get a vid. Yeah I am mate - My mate has a HD camera and I'm tryna get him out when he is available. I think he is going to do some recording the day after my Bday and I will do LOTS of recording next year when the weather is better. So hopefully I can make a longish video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
