what paint did you use? looks really neat

nikoniko (Apr 22, 2011 at 2:27)

I used the 600yen spay from Nafuko! Its a silicone base paint and I used it to paint my double as well. It doesnt scratch or chip, very smooth!

ziggyzuggy (May 27, 2011 at 18:10)

bro did you remove the paint before painting? if so what paint remover? how do they call paint remover in japanese i wanted to repaint my sx the original color seems so dull

nikoniko (May 28, 2011 at 4:31)

Yes I removed the paint but I used sandpaper. I dont like dealing with the chemicals. I tried paint remover in the past on other parts but sandpaper is much easier and does not take as long as you may think. Just start with a corse grit like 80 to 100 and work your way down to 300. The grooves the paper makes also allows the paint to stick to the surface of the fame better as well. Ask me anything if you need help man! RidEOn!
