Moved my Dolan on now, but you can sand and paint these really easily, but there is a pretty thick primer on there. If I was re-painting now, I would just leave it at a keyed primer, rather than the bare metal - the Spray.bike stuff is pretty decent, (just take your time and use sparingly) it's also not a particularly strong finish, so expect a scratched up rat bike look building up pretty quickly.
I painted mine pink, green purple and raw on different occasions. It's such a cheap frame you don't need to worry about messing it up!

anyone else bought from Dolan recently? I placed an order for a pre cursa frameset 3 weeks ago, still not posted...
Planning to build it up as a city speedster, used to have a 58 but figured the 60 fits me better.
However, as I'm furloughed and got some time on my hand, thought about re-painting the frame. I saw a few builds out there that were re-done in new colors, anyone in this forum done that?
Planning to sand it down with coarse sandpaper then going finer and finer... How easy is it to get the paint off the new pre cursas? For finish I thought about spray.bike, either a fade or a base color then mask for some motives and paint over. Any better option than spray.bike?
Will share the result here as well as either in anti or hhsb...
