N.Wood Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Hi kids, Has anyone tried lacquering over highly polished alu? A: does it stick properly - Usually the surface would have to be keyed? B : does it dull the shine and look shit anyway? Cheers now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Yup it dulls the shine. And no it doesnt stick properly. I dont it so much on parts of my old motorbike and it just falls off, and then its a massive pain in the arse to remove. I advise dont bother Edited July 16, 2012 by Carlperkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Similar question, what does a frame that's been shot/sand blasted look like when lacquered?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Similar question, what does a frame that's been shot/sand blasted look like when lacquered?? horrible. looks like a lumpy grey mess. if you have it blasted it will need spraying.
