King C Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Ok my mate has an Echo Team which he wants to spray but doesn't really know how to prepare it. Will sanding it down to the bare metal be necessary or just sanding it to roughen up the surface be enough.Also will the same apply with brushed fork as I want to do mine aswell.CheersKing and co.

br3n Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 the finnish is electronically added to the metal, I cant remember the exact process but basically the way it sits onto the metal it should be fine to just paint onto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Roughening up the surface should do.edit: you need to remove any paint/laquer beforehand of course Edited April 12, 2007 by Inur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
