Hi all,
I’ve got an old frame I’m refurbishing, and I need to know I few things before I get painting.
I was going to spray it myself, but every thread or article I’ve read advises against it, and recommends powder coating instead for ~£40 a frame and fork (sound about right?).
I will get it coated in Racing Green, however I want cream stripes on the downtube, seatube and headtube. Could I do this myself with a rattlecan, and if so would I need a particular paint?
The bike also has a nasty ding on the chainstay, which I’m going to fill with car body filler and sand down- would this survive being baked in a powder coater’s oven, and would the powder adhere to it?
A lot of questions, but any help would be great!
I do struggle to believe the ~£40 price, when looking at argos cycles pricing page……
