Carbon frame paint removal

[Drago]

Get it to a proper bodyshop or painter, and get a UV resistant clear coat. If you're not in a hurry tell them to wait until they're painting something else with the same finish, save on the pennies.

Do you know of any good twin pack's in a can then? @screenman £50 is too steep for me the frame only cost me £100 its just a get from a2b bike so dont want to spend alot

Would it be worth looking at boat paint to do the job ? Not varnish ! But something like Blakes . Or call the fibre glass shop in Brentford and ask his advice . It is actually called the fibre glass shop .
Thinking some more , just gel coat it

No I do not, I always put my twin pack through a spray gun.

This is it all painted up btw getting some kinesis decals made might go for matt grey like my cervelo ones or white

 

[Sillyoldman]

I would paint that white. It would look a million dollars

 

[jack smith]

It did look nice white mind dont make me go back on myself!! It was the blue and the paint chips i didnt like!

And done, cant ride it yet until the headset arrives but it comes in at 7.1 kilo with a stupidly heavy seatpost, a low end shimano 10 speed cassette and cheap kmc chain so not shabby at all. Ill be riding it without clearcoat until i can afford the decals to go on the paint seems very hardwearing and its only been on 20 hours or so, im sure it will be fine umtil i get sorted.
