spraying carbon frames

[gongmech]

Hey,

Can you spray a carbon frame a different colour?

And would you have to strip the clear coating if you do?

And who does it in the WC???

 

Thanx

You can paint carbon any colour your heart desires.

You only need to "rough" up the existing coat to apply a new coat, however considering that paint = weight then the more you strip off the better.

 

Don't know the WC area...

yes! It sort of cancels the idea of having a lighter frame???

Thanx Boet. Do u think i could get it down at a normal panel beaters or is there paint different?

[Taps]

After they've panel-beaten it the colour won't make any difference anyway.

Normal PB should be fine. Just make sure you plug the headset, bb and all other holes. And they should not bake it.

can you powdercoat/bake a normal alu frame?
