Mark W Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 'lo,I want to spray my BMX frame, but I want to strip the paint off so it's raw, then just laquer it. However, I want the laquer to be tinted, so it'll be like a clear-blue colour or whatever. Does anyone know if it's possible to get coloured laquer anywhere? I've tried google, but didn't really get anywhere. I've tried the local Motorworld type shop place and they didn't have any either, just clear laquer...I'm not super fussed on colour atm, just wanted to see how much it'd cost.Thanks for any help.

011001000110010101110010 Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 This stuff does exist, pop down to your local halfrauds and they should be able to mix you up a can. There maybe a specific mix or just adding a small amount of paint to a lacquer mix possibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Just to throw an idea into the (paint.. ha!) pot, how would laquer that had been painted on look?'Cos you can but just a pot of it that you paint on with a brush, and you could mix it yourself using food dye or similar.

I know Mongoose did a "Candy apple red" BMX before that was like tinted laquery almost, but I wasn't too sure if that was just the name of that one colour... thiat was basica;;y what we were going to do to bowens koxx. i think moterworld said they could oder it in for us. The guys at Motorworld can actually go down and nosh on my cock before I ever order anything from them, ever. Unless nowhere else in the world does it at all. Just to throw an idea into the (paint.. ha!) pot, how would laquer that had been painted on look?'Cos you can but just a pot of it that you paint on with a brush, and you could mix it yourself using food dye or similar. I'm guessing getting a nice finish with a brush would be a load harder than spraying it onto a frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I recon it would indeed, but might be ok if you spent some time over it? :donno:*shrug* :gay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
