grahamc Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 To sand down a mountain bike frame and re-spray the whole thing? Just started stripping my bike down, and there are loads of chips and scratches all over the frame, so thinking about having it re-sprayed. Is this something that is easy to do? Like re-spray dash plastics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 no, get it powder coated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd-mkiv Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Easy if you have the right tools mate, could even get it sand blasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 no, get it powder coated. I think thats a better idea. Who do I find some that can do it? Normal spray shop? Specialist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Here's a bike shop that does resprays, it's not really worth the hastle of doing them yourself. http://www.daveyatescycles.co.uk/repairs.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I Nitormors'd my aluminium Orange frame many years ago and got it anodized blue, it wasn't too difficult a job. Sanding the thing would be a nightmare I'd imagine, bead blasting would be quick and easy if you can find a booth big enough to fit it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
