• I really like the idea of bespoke paint schemes and some of the examples here are fantastic. I'm considering building up a second hand carbon frame for next summer, probably a SuperSix, but just don't like the excessive branding. So, what would be the process - simply over-paint the frame or would it need to be stripped first, and if so how? And are there any considerations when looking at second hand carbon frames from a re-painting perspective?

  • Take the frame to a painter, they'll remove the original finish (usually by hand with abrasives) and start from scratch.

    Second hand carbon is second hand carbon... you can't always know what the previous owner did to it/with it.
