************* ***** **** *** ** * GT Block/Malet stem

[YGT]

My latest ebay purchase of a GT white block stem seems to have gotten lost in the post.
So I need to paint my black GT Block stem instead.

Has anyone done this beofre or any tips?

Thanks

Hey Dan,
do you let them paint over the GT logo ? or do you sand it after coating.

i mask up any thing i want to keep unpainted unless its inverted inside the cast.

an alternative, is black heat resistant paint with heat resistant laquer over it. then when fully dry(24hrs) bake in oven at 160°C for an hour. rock hard and shiny. be sure to clean the paint off the logo first

heres one i painted, came out alright.  i used gloss 2pac white, didn't bother doin the detailed bits in different colours...

I had this one sprayed to match the frame, masked out the polished raised circle that the gt logo's in just a bit. Took the masking tape off  and to get rid the paint bleed got a small flat wood block with some fine sandpaper on.  Masked out the outside a bit incase I was a clumsy bugger and slowly went at it with the flat block. It came out perfect, really precise.

I gotta go with the powder or paint. Powder will last a long time and you can sand it to reveal the GT logo.

If you do go with paint, make sure that you let it dry for a good long time before sanding the logo, I had to redo one that I didn't let sit and the paint gummed up the sandpaper.
