Re-spray....the lazy way - any recommendations

Posted on
  • if it want a re-spray but don't have the ability/tools/time to strip the bike down before and put it back together after, does anyone know any paint shops that can offer to do this for the right £s?

    p.s. anyone know armourtec's phone number? ;-)

  • armourtec will strip it for you mate

  • nice one - cheers Chris

  • armourtex will help your search.

  • ah, yeah - that'll learn me for trying to be clever!

    I'll leave that gag to the genuine old hands in the future

  • get sheldoned up!
    ;-)

  • They will charge for stripping the parts off (bb, bars etc etc) or not do it. but they strip the frame as part of the service - you could also get them to remove any braze ons and seal it?

  • what colour do u wanna do?
    i will get my frame power coated in white sometime nextweek
    should be cheaper to do them together (given that u want your frame in white too)

  • provenrad - sheldon who? ;-)

    brian - cheers, not doubt you won't understand my madness but I don't want white... i know, my loss! Also, I'm working such long bloody hours (apart from when I'm not avoiding work on here) that I literally wanna drop my steed off in one piece, get the re-respay done, then pick thing back up again in one piece... as quick as poss too as only got the one bike and need it every day

  • just a quick question
    is it possible to put sticker decal on after powder coating, and then another clear coat over the decal?
    or do i have to wet paint it?

    thanks in advance

  • I'm pretty sure you can clear coat over dry powder coat.
    I put my decals on after powder and clear and they are fine though.

  • Joel you gotta stop posting pics of your HH it makes me envious!

  • thres is no lazy way to properly spray anything as far as i know. If you fail to sand properly before and in-between coats, the paint will peel off like sunburnt skin. Powder coat is teh answer.

  • im going to get my frame done in white in armourtex tomorrow

    wondering of anyone has tools that i can borrow to remove bb and headset
    Adjustable wrench up to 38mm
    pin spanner for old style campag bb
    headset cup remover for 1"

    thanks
