Hi.
I've had this bike for a number of years now and don't get quite enough use out of it. It's a really ugly bike but a friend got me a hefty discount on it at the time and actually the components were excellent value for money and the geometry of the frame feels good.
The top decal in the photo below is what gets me. It really cringes me out, it's the kind of thing an 8 year old might think looks cool on their bike.
My question is this. If im not fussed about a perfect finish is it feasible to rub down that decal only and then spray just the patch to a Matt black finish (without the need to strip the whole bike back)? Is that a thing? I realise spraying the whole bike properly would achieve a more seamless finish but could I achieve a good enough patching job?
