Painting a stem...
« on: June 28, 2008, 05:09 PM »
Hey lads.  :)   I had a Suntour stem through the post this morning from OrgasmDonor (thanx Daz m8).
I've picked it up to re-furb then put onto my Kuwi'.

Just after it arrived...

After a quick session with Nitromors...


Right, anyhow I'm going to be coating it in black.
So should i bother attacking it with Oven pride to strip the anno off or should i use the anno as a base to coat over?
Rattle can should cover the anno (after a keying in) shouldn't it?
Or would it still need some primer?
Or just strip totally then , primer, top coat?
Any thoughts?     Grem'.  :daumenhoch:

Yeah you will need to remove the anno first. Last one i did i just dusted it with a light primer and then straight into paint. I tried painting a red anno shainring last year and it just doesnt take

Hey Phil.  So use etch primer then primer before top coats ?  Cool.  :)
I hope the layers aren't going to build up and wipe out the Suntour text ?    G.  ???
