Krylon Fusion for plastic? It's the only one they have in Patriotic Blue.

You mean rattlecan spray paint? I've been wanting to do mine blue on white kinda like yours. How does it hold up?

Cool. I was just worried because I was on the rough side of "tapping" trying to get it to move. Thanks for the help. I will try to find one of those clamps.

I wasn't like raring back and whacking the crap out of it or anything. Certainly not hard enough to bend the rod. Just firm taps. The wrist pin was not seized, just very tight. I was holding everything in my hand trying to get the wrist pin to move. I got it to move but then my hand got tired and I stopped. I then noticed I was getting into the lower bearing a little too much for my liking.

Man that frame looks awesome. Is that powder? What color?

Great idea. What are the chances of me damaging the one I've already been working on? I didn't get super rough with it, but after light tapping didn't work I did hit it harder while holding the piston in my hand. I noticed I wasn't doing much by holding it and it was actually impacting the lower end on the crank. Could I have screwed it up already?

Just realized I posted in the wrong section. My bad. Could a mod move this please?

I'm tearing into my Banshee and I can't get the wristpins to come loose. This bike is on a stock build so that might be part of it. I've got the clips out and I've been tapping on them with a flat punch and I got one to move a little bit so they aren't seized to the rod or anything. The bike ran good before just a little low on compression. The wristpins are stuck in the piston not the rod. I'm afraid to get very rough with them because there isn't really any way to hold the rod to keep pressure off the bottom rod bearing. Anyway I'm hoping somebody can give me a tip or something to get this done. Maybe give me an idea of how rough I can get with them. I've been on this site and noticed there is a lot of knowledge here.
