Evening everyone,
Recently I decided I was fed up of a broken bike so stripped everything off my frame and sanded it down, I'm nearly ready to paint the beast.
Does anyone have any good tips for spraying it, apart from the obvious like mask the BB and headset, things like the best way to cure the paint etc
Cheers for any help people

To get the best finish i would imagine using an appropriate primer for the colour you are using to go on the bike first, then do the coat(s) of colour and then add you decals. I might be wrong but I believe that is the generic way of doing it.
One thing I know for sure is that if you do use decals/transfers/stickers on the frame, put some lacquer over the top of them to ensure they stay on the frame and don't peel off at a later date.0 -
Yeah I was thinking about picking the right primer, going for a metallic blue finish so will most likely go with white primer to make it that little bit lighter0
