hey i hate my frames colour its baby blue or some shit... and i was thinking of rawing my frame down + bars , forks and giving them a few coats of primer then clear coating it... how would it look anyone got pics? and is that recommendable...

It would just look like normal paint depending on what colour it was. You'd need more clear coat than normal because primer has a thing for absorbing water and rising up in places

ma mate said he wanted that but biek frames are too small so the paint wont flip so much.. well the garage paint place told him that...
