lazy job(takes about 2 days), you can just wipe the frame down with water. Take off stickers, remove parts. Leave the og paintjob and just go over it
apply two coats of what your coulor (no primer), and two coats of lacquer with about 50 minute drying time in between.
REALLY IMPORTANT BIT
let the lacquer fully solidify for about 2-3 days, it'll be touch dry with 30 mins but is will be still pretty soft and not resistant to scratches
this gives a pretty good finish and looks professional, as for endurance i've done about 3 bikes like this, the oldest of the bucnh done about a year ago and its held pretty good with regular every day riding
anyways i've done this method a few times it's done well
or to make it not a lazy paint job strip the frame first, acetone should do the trick ??
