I'm going to need a new roll too. Apparently fork oil that leaks onto a roll of race face, ruins the race face :(

 

Some one should maybe inform Linex of this... they keep the rolls of Race Face next to the fork oils :ph34r: :lol:

If youre really worried about your paint job and have hairline scratches, and its not a matt based finish. Good old rally car wax. ( ive used it on guitars too and works wonders on anything that has a clear coat...) You'll have to apply it a few times though. Deep scratches? forget it. Besides, ity going to get scratched. i also believe it builds character.

Hi Ouens,

 

Old thread I know, but I like to use the search function first. :ph34r:

 

I need some of this film stuff, but I think being able to cut your own is the better option (the precut ones dont have lots of choices)

 

 

Question is how much would I need for 2 frames? Stays & downtube and where ther is cable rub

 

Danke

Depends on how wide it is Fanie. The stuff I buy at chinatown is bout 300mm wide. More than enough for 2 frames. IMHO its better than the geniune "vps" thats *** expensive. The chinatown stuff sells for R40 a meter....

 

If you cant get some locally give me a shout and ill send you a meter if you like. ;)

Dunno what its called but if there is a automotive shop they should have rolls off different colours.

A few spring rolls and some strolling will be in order then :lol:B)

Not sure if it's been mentioned here, but 3M Helocopter tape 50mm wide does the trick. Contact 3M SA for your local reseller or buy it off Ebay for around 5 squids fora metre or so.
