Title: How to get out of a fook up SBD style
Post by: superbikedan on June 07, 2010, 07:39 PM
thought i'd show you these pics after powder coating brettypeeps haro

master and getting the forks wrong :-[ totally my fault as i concentrated on the

frame where it should be masked and forgot about the forks, so the problem was

the greens a special powder and is bought in from the states and i had none left so

how the fook do i get out of this,

first off mask the line where the should have been painted to and dab some strong

paint stripper on very close to the mask line

next wipe off the powder with a soft rag as to not damage the chrome

next step, with a sharp craft knife, cut the line in the paint and slowly scrape the last bit

of powder up to the line,  half done

and now the finished look,  happy days :)

that was a lucky call, because sometimes just the vapours from the stripper can soak into the powder and slowly creep up the forks..... ;)

That green looks so sweet  8)

Do you remember doing the same thing to my 86 Master forks Dan about 4-5 years ago  ???

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/b366/claire169/Master86004.jpg)

It turned out looking so sweet in the end though once Dan had done his magic  :smitten:

Check out the quality of this powder, it still looks wet  :smitten:
