Freddie Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Well my BTs paint was dodgy and you could pick it off so I decided to get it sprayed. After some extreme sanding and using Halfords spray paint which dries in about 2 minutes, the end result was: and... Hopefully this paint stays on the frame :- Random post ... meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Like it lots , but I'm a sucker for BTs anyway , lovely . If you cover the new paint job with some layers of lacquer , it'll be more durable and scratch resistant . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wally Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Looks very nice, and a very nice finish you have there too. You have inspired JoeMaher to do his, he rang me and told me he was on his way to Halfords to get paint. So if it goes wrong you owe him a new Koxx XTP. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_gavo Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 yer we did laquer it did about 3 coats (one of which stuck to the boot of my car :) ) so it should be fairly durable.

Twilite Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 That looks sweet. I think gunmetal looks good on pretty much anything, so was rather interested in the topic title. When I read you'd done it yourself, I was expecting the worst, but it looks great. >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
