So I recently bought a Wiggins Pau balance bike for my little girl, once she outgrows her current Indi balance bike (top of the Seat post extension now). I got it secondhand quite cheap with a few scuffs on but generally in good condition.
I’m toying with respraying it the same Orange as my Bird Aeris and getting some decals made up just for a giggle.
Firstly – would I just need to rough up the existing paint work to get new paint to key to it? (Maybe with a coat of primer first)?
Secondly – lacquer – will this make it quite hard wearing or is paint still going to be quite fragile if I use some kind of rattle can stuff? I’d get it powder coated but it would cost more and might struggle to match my bike so well.
