[kerker21]

how much duz it cost nowerdays to spray a mountain bike frame are you sitting cumphy you will need to be

it all started last year when my son Will needed a larger frame so we got an ORANGE patriot frame from ebay which i built up into a decent downhill bike


10 months on and its getting well used and uprated regulaly


so boys being boys dad can we paint it ford focus ST electric orange , good idea thaught i well i fell of me chair in the paint shop when i was told its a three pack paint primer ,white bace coat,orange bace undercoat and electric orange top coat oh and laquer thats 5 layers
well striped of stickers, sanded,panel wiped and ready to go


three layers in it looked like this nice and bace coat orange


then electric layer and 4 coats of laquer latter we built it back up to this


then today the nice people at orange in halifax sent us the sticker kit




thay even sent us a new embosed badge even though id masked the old one of


the morrel of this story is when your son asks can you paint his mountain bike frame just say no as in now no closer to a new exhaust for the quat as a matter of fact im much further away by £130.12 i need another beer bugger carnt afford one now
