Whats the best finish for bare metal frames?Cheers in advance
well I thought the laquer route but I got told "it will just fall off" buy my neighbour who used to paint cars?
I rawed my sons Proper Proclaimer a few months back & heard all the hoorors of lacquer & chips in it & rust getting under it so i thought sod that,don't want all that hassle.Being a bit of a petrol head i always use top quality cleaning ,waxing products on my car & after rawing the frame i simply used a top quality Meguairs Carnuba wax sealant on the rawed frame & so far so good. All you need do is about once a month top up the wax.Maintainance & good house keeping IE wipe of any water etc. when you get back from riding, it's the same with chrome rims,if you don't treat them well they're done in no time.I have also rawed bars,crank arms,seatposts using the same methods.Calum
Cheers CalumI built the bike up raw so the idea of a wax to finish it off sounds well good!Is this the one...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Meguiars-Maguires-Car-Deep-Crystal-Step-3-Carnuba-Wax_W0QQitemZ370355782251QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item563aecc26bQuote from: calmac on April 13, 2010, 07:55 PMI rawed my sons Proper Proclaimer a few months back & heard all the hoorors of lacquer & chips in it & rust getting under it so i thought sod that,don't want all that hassle.Being a bit of a petrol head i always use top quality cleaning ,waxing products on my car & after rawing the frame i simply used a top quality Meguairs Carnuba wax sealant on the rawed frame & so far so good.
