Stenciling can be a real fooker to do.

If you're painting them, paint away from the edges so you don't push the paint under the edge of the stencil. You could try spraying them, but you'll need to take your time and build up a few coats. You don't want the pressure too high either as it could blow under the edge of the stencil. Probably better using an artists airbrush.

Never stenciled anything that small though.

Good luck  :daumenhoch:

and that just pushed the price up adam  ;D


Who here doesn't like Adam ?  you all seem to want to have a go at a guy that is liked on here - has some great and rare bikes - shows them well and knows his stuff - he makes us laugh and can have a laugh with us

so the one thing is he doesn't put the bikes together but employees members to help out - is this not the same as a business ?

we all do some thing different on here in a different way - I' haven't had a build finished in a while, so who's to have a go at me ? I post up and try to help out - does that mean i should be outed for not doing some thing as much as the rest on here

get over it guys  :daumenhoch:  and fecking answer the question (thanks to the two who have so far) >:D

cheers B  ;)

each to their own I guess but I'm sure Adam is a big enough boy to stand up for himself B.  :daumenhoch:

plus you did kind of set the tone for this thread by calling him a C O C K in your opening post  :LolLolLolLol:

Adam know the banter that flows between us and few other muppets on here  :D ;D

it's cool to muck about with adam as he know it just for fun shits and giggles

but it's the saying that cos he doesn't build his own bike he doesn't belong on here ?

going round with him at shows and rides, i glad to call him a good mate - at the VW shows we had a right laugh - he had some great bikes there and even won a price for one of them

he's still a c0ck  ;D

... true. That would have been out of order... but... and its BIG BUT ...NO ONE has said that B.

Where in anything that has been said has it been declared that Adam isn't welcome  ??? Nowhere  :daumenhoch:

'Vive la Difference' but hearing people to stand up for their beliefs is always interesting  :Great_Britain:

Did a bit of research and found this site. http://41thirty.com/restoration

They suggest Krylon plastic spray paint.

Hope that helps Adam.  :daumenhoch:

I used some Plastic surface spray paint from B and Q, think it was this http://www.diy.com/nav/decor/paint/specialist-paints/spray_paints/Rust-Oleum-400ml-Direct-To-Plastic-Black-11117620

It also builds up a slight surface as you find on nos rims. Just make sure the stencil is stuck well and truly down.

I did see on the museum once someone who made their own stencil/design which went on the top of the Z rim, looked fantastic. If anyone has the link please post it up.  :daumenhoch:

No probs, when done you'll be amazed at the end result, really hard to tell that they've been refurbed.
Just make sure you really stick them down with something strong as the glue the stencils come with is weak
