roesso Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 How hard is it to paint a frame with a spray gun? Never used one before, does anyone have any pointers or a first timer? Quote
steady Posted June 12, 2011 Report Posted June 12, 2011 I thought about painting mine, but going powdercoat shouldnt ever have to touch it up. I figure painting it would be pretty hard, unless you have a way to get all the old paint off. Quote

vifferman Posted June 14, 2011 Report Posted June 14, 2011 As with most things the prep is the hardest part. If you skimp on the prep the paint will chip and peel off quickly. I've had two frames powdercoated and wouldn't do it any other way! It's WAY worth the $. They look incredible and are much more durable than rattle can. Quote

DirtDiggler69 Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 I'm painting my shee , flat black , painting takes a lot of time , just when you think youve got the frame covered , you see it from a different angle . Krylon fusion paint is what I'm using , it's great paint , has a epoxy based primer and adheres great . Excellent elastomer properties as well , stays very flexible . Quote
Man-O-Steele Posted August 22, 2011 Report Posted August 22, 2011 from personal experience take your time and have it powdercoated. paint failing is the reason you want redo it to begin with. trust me bud its worth it. http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=144733&st=0&p=1248204&fromsearch=1entry1248204 Quote
Bkm2006 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 I prepped my frame for 5 hrs and then primed painted . Took a step back and decided to just get it powdered. Best thing I have ever done. Quote
