• Yeah I'd thought about getting a custom spray on one of my mtb frames. FatCreations quoted £600-£700. Decided against it as frame has lifetime warranty and crash replacement which would apparently be voided if custom painted.

    I'm know that even a stem being painted will be pricey, but have yet to hear any prices on just a stem alone. Obviously there's a limit to what one would spend just to have a stem painted though...

    I experimented sanding down a carbon stem and then clear coating it. I got a pretty a good result considering I done it in my garage and had no idea what I was doing.
    But I think I'll have to pay someone to get the flip colour painted logos I want

  • Yeah, I just want plain black to replace the dated green/ yellow Kamm Tail paint detail that was on the back of seat tube/ stays (old Orica Green Edge Team Edition style). I'd read about the razor method which although sounding terrifying, is actually very effective/ quick at removing laquer and paint...

  • razor method

    Yeah I have a damaged carbon mtb front triangle that was replaced under warranty. I'm keeping it to eventually use to practice on to do some DIY spray painting. I've used a sharp blade to take off the paint and it works well.
    Anyway sorry to derail thread. Free bumps :)
