Right I'm getting my frame sprayed soon, is it necessary for the original paint to be stripped back and if so how much? All the way to metal or just through the lacquer? The paint is in overall good condition just with some chips here and there and a bit of lacquer fade, any suggestions?
That fork looks beauty!!! I just got my crank and fork decals from NLD, nice stuff, matched my frame color very well on the fork decals for my 40, and he gives ya free ID decals with your order!
Yeah well happy with them, nldesigns did a great job..the gold on the decals matches nicely with the kashima..
What colour did you use for the stanchions? I'm really impressed with how you almost matched the Kashima gold, and got the text on too. Mm well done.
Thanks I melted now some pound coins Tobget the Kashima liquid gold and got my highly trained monkey to write the text with a biro.. He done well since I pay him peanuts..
While I was at it I painted/ masked the fork crown too..
This might sound silly but are you using a professional spray gun for this or just rattle cans?
Yeah I used a spray gun, a devilbiss..
Love my Devilbiss spray gun. My go to gun in my collection. of course the others are cheap guns Iusually use for primer for year and then throw them away. i get them for $12. lol
Better pics during the day first ride is tomorrow. Been busy and the trails are so wet most of them are closed. Driving a ways out to get to some trails I can ride tomorrow.
