Endohopper Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 (edited) Most folks use some nasty chemical c**p called Nitromors , which basically melts the paint off frames / forks . Then there's sandblasting , but this requires special equipment . Having removed the paint my best advice is to read This article as it's really well written and very helpful . Let us know how you get on . Edited October 15, 2005 by Endohopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emery Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 This spraying confuses me I have a silver bike so do I just take the laquer off then spray the frame the colour the add the laquer or do I need the primer still.

Houseface Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 or theres a cheaper way, sand the forks down all over(sand paper or sander),then put all primer on,under coat,another coat then the laquer and your done. (wait till all coats have dried before you spray the next one on) hope this helps, steve. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moo Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 if the paint in fine just get some fine wet n dry paper rubing the top coat of the frame to give the new paint somthing to key into. then spray your desired colour leave to dry sand out any runs and laquer. spray 2 or 3 coats on n leave for 24h before laquer is applied. halfods would be the best place to get your stuff from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 use nitromors because supprisingly enough taking sand paper to it scratches it all up id just nitromor it strips all the shite off and leaves you with raw metal, dont think you need primer paint and laquer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moo Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 get assorted wet n dry paper from halfords sand the laquer off then do it again with finer paper. spary it with chosen colour allow to dry and rub all the runs and imperfections out with wet n dry paper but dip the paper in hot soapy water clean off n spray again and repeat sanding and spray again paint should be nice n smooth now so leave it to dry for 24h n get a couple of coats of laquer on it. job done if you strip it back u will need primer n if you dont key the paint in itll flake off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
