DawieO Posted December 20, 2010 Author Posted December 20, 2010 Yeah Mackie, you are right. I have emailed them and will wait for their view before I take the belt sander to it... Even if it doesn't become a warranty issue, I just want my bike sorted.
BigToe Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 nou dit is n fokop....Nice contribution there big guy!
R3SL Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Just remember mate the more stuff you try might have an adverse effect on your claim, just send it back ,play it safe as there is no clearcoat on the surface which means its porous thus absorbing the red colour, the red is not on the surface but IN the surface. R3SL
chris_w_65 Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 I seem to remember paintwork is not covered for very long under some warranties although the frame is Do they claim the Morewood is mud proof?
GTRacing Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Nice contribution there big guy!And your point would be?
kosmonooit Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Acid wash! worked for my swimming pool, white as snow now
DawieO Posted December 20, 2010 Author Posted December 20, 2010 I agree with GTRacing... Will be chatting to the nice men in PMB tomorrow and will give everyone feedback. Thank you very much to all of you for the advice and input. A painful thing this...
BigToe Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 And your point would be?Help the oke with some boere raad...to get his bike skoon...
Weight Weenie Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Jik ama Jika ! hehehe or OMO This is not lekker, sure Morewood will sort you out, hopefully with a loan bike as well
DawieO Posted December 21, 2010 Author Posted December 21, 2010 Just had a chat to Andre at Rush Sports and I'll send the frame down to them in early-Jan to get it sorted. There was a particular batch where the clearcoat didn't bond to the paint properly and this is one of them. Thank you Andre.

If so how much was it, I might want to do some custom colours on mine
ngala24 Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Try a product called blade made by shield, you can get a spray bottle from PnP for about R29, that cleans anything, we even use it to get stains out of my little mans baby grows I use it on my bike, diluted to wash the bike and full strenght to clean chains and cassettes
Mojoman Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 OK, the polish suggestion is similar to another I got. Will get some tomorrow. What does concern me is that if the paint is staining like this, it is clearly going to happen again?I would contact Morewood, prehaps there was a problem with that paint batch?
scott Posted December 21, 2010 Posted December 21, 2010 Next muddy race / cycle .... wipe your whole bike over with a decent silicone spray before the race will prevent this problem
