1337 Trials Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hello. What paint and other things would be best to spray the handle bars and stem black and how many coats would I need to put on ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 It depends on whats on their at the moment. If they are painted all ready strip them down. Best to do this outside and the best stuff to get it of is to yous a scaring pad and scrub it in to the paint. Then give it about 5 mins intel the paint starts to bubble and then wipe it off. Do this intel its all off. If they are anodized you will need sum costc soda to remove the anidising. Do not put it on for long as it will dissolve the steam and bars.Not good when that happens.When you have them striped you need to put sum gray primer on about 2/3 layers of it so its smooth and even. Then you need at least 3 cots of the spray paint you diced on and then give it 24 hours to set. Then lacer them put on atlest 3 cots. As it will stop them skrathingThem give them about 30 mins between coats. if you do it coretley if will look very good and last for a long time. i may of got sum spelling wrong as the spell checker did not find one for it. hope this helps you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Are they polished or do they have a coating on them if they are polished its not a problem just paint over it. If the are coated in something you will need to remove this i think. You may be able to got over this i'm not shore.Give it a go and if it do's not work them try to remove it from them.

Guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Do you mean that you have sum black spray paint already if you do that shoud work ok as long as its for metal. you will need to get the gray primer thats for cars. Go sum where like halfords they have all the things you will need to do the job. you will need the clean the parts before you spray them. then dry them and wipe any bits of them. then primer them. then give it about 24 hours. Then spray the parts black.give them about 30 mins between cotes.Them give um lots of lacker. Give the lacker 30 mins between cotes. Then give the parts 24 hours to set and then you will be sorted.Hope this solves you problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
