bike_dummie Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 hi, Any one know where I can get any green fluorescent paint from. It must be work with halfords zinc primer (cellulose). Also if possible could it match the fluorescent green trialtech sport rim? cheers,Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 You can also get flouro colors on ebay, b&Q definitely have them you just gotta go look. Etch primer is acidic so it 'burns' or etches a key into the aluminum this make it stick better. Zinc paint is for ferrous metals i.e metals containing iron ie.steel See here: click havn't read it but I'm sure it'll be there somewhere.

I'm after the paint for my frame but i may consider the rim because I haven't actually go the trial tech rim yet. Rim ever been built up if so how much use and how hard was it rode. cheers AdamI'll have another look for the flouro on B&Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukasMcNeal Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Look at graffiti sites, thats where I was going to get my fluro green paint from. It works fine on metal.
