Hey all

Basically i want to spray my stem bolts, magura mount bolts, disk caliper bolts and any other bolts i can find Blue.

They are like a polished metal finish at the moment (as standard)

I need to know whether i need primer first or if i can spray straight onto them?

Sorry if there has already been a topic but im a lazy shit and in need of fast answers

:)

thanks y'all

I'd just dust them over with primer, then spray them your chosen colour dude (Y):)

Watch the threads!!

yeah? cheers

'm thinking clamping them in the workbench, mask the threads to be on the safe side then spray them, get a nice equal layering.

Will i need laquer afterwards?

You won't need lacquer if you use gloss paint. But when you do the bolts up, the allen key will probably mark the paintwork anyway...

Yup, it'll probobly end up looking shit, and it wont be easy to remove all the paint from inside an allen bolt head. Just polish it nice 'n silver 'n shiney and it will look better than any paint.
