rock Posted November 28, 2012 Share Those "stickers" look like paint to me... quite clever, after the white was sprayed they stuck on a mask and after the green was painted, the GT was pulled out of (precut) the mask and then sprayed black so everything lines up http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy25/rock78pics/GT%20Strip/framespray.jpg Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/123579-respray-and-crank-refurb/page/6/#findComment-1869715 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock Posted December 3, 2012 Share might be getting a little carried away with the theme, white bar tape added, and crosstop levers finally set up properly (white saddle is in mail) http://i774.photobucket.com/albums/yy25/rock78pics/GT%20Strip/CapeTown-20121201-00604.jpg BogusOne and DBK 2 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/123579-respray-and-crank-refurb/page/6/#findComment-1874891 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted December 3, 2012 Share Nice ... just make sure you get another green cable end cap for the brake caliper as per the one used in front of the head tube! Would have been nice to have a white GT logo on that head tube while we are looking at a pic of this area.

rock Posted December 4, 2012 Share hairy, already done, pic taken before I added green ends to all the cables (and shortened the excess straddle cable - how did I miss that for 3 years!!) so still waiting for my white silverado saddle.......and a green headset spacer from a mate. we had talked about doing a headtube logo, might do something out of vinyl and 'plak' it on their to see what it looks like?

brad890 Posted January 14, 2013 Share sorry im bring this thread back up, but I've got a quick question with the remove all did you guys wrap the frams / components in a plastic bag so the stuff didnt dry or did you leave it standing as is with the stripper on?

Adrian4Four Posted January 14, 2013 Share Looks very cool! how much did you cost though? Im in jhb though, so not sure who would do such a good job, but an idea on price would be nice.
