Quite the comical link to roll through but with out a picture of max's bike/new paint job it just left me frustrated.
Guys, this is just going onto a bmx frame, that I bought on sale, and have the exact same frame of just it came in raw/clear coat... I want black. I've canned my old bmx bikes enough times I should know if an acrylic or enamel based paint sticks better to factory clear coat but I simply don't.
I did this exact project a year ago, no prep or sanding, straight onto the clear coat and the paint held great for a year. I think it was a textured flat black or one of the "BBQ/Car Engine approved" cans.
