Chris Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 (edited) The paint won't come off that easy - at least in the first months. But later it will! I spray painted my belaey frame and didn't use any clear laquer or whatever. And when I had a look at the frame some days ago (sold it to a friend), the paint looked like shit. It came off almost everywhere. So you'd better use a clear laquer and do a good job on the paint, otherwise it will look pretty bad after a while... and be sure to prepare the frame, e.g. sand blast it to get the old paint off etc... I just took some simple sand paper to rub the paint off and it did't come out too good in the end... Edited August 6, 2006 by Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks.Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
