remove paint fragments from fender (photo)
I thought I'd spray this white again since the
original paint is falling of. But even tho it has and is, some of it sticks tight! Do you bath it in some solution? Will a heat gun do it? I don't have one, but I think I can borrow one...

I sprayed a trailer [1] not so long ago but then it was uniformly blue to begin with, and the color was all intact, so I didn't remove any paint before spraying. Now there are many islands of paint left and those aren't loose. As for sanding, I just tried this with P220, this had no affect with respect to removing the fragments but it made it all look softer and cleaner. Are you saying, I should ignore the fragments and just repaint the entire thing? I thought about that, and I'll do it unless there is an easy way to get away with the old paint...

[1] http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/photos/supertramp-1.jpg Painting over the existing patches would certainly be my inclination, but often I use hammerite style paints designed for this purpose. Often the finish is smooth but I've never tried refining the surface to 'mirror' finish so i'm unsure if it would be possible ... If that's what you're hoping for. I also, invariably use brush on - I've always found it sticks better. What's the project in question? |

Apart from the usual minor fixes a replaced pedal and this paint job and it should be (almost) as good as new. -- underground experts united .... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 Emacs Gnus Blogomatic ......... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/blogomatic - so far: 36 Blogomatic articles - |

To have any hope of a decent paint job you need to get rid of all the paint ridges. That means sanding all the paint so that the transition from the non-painted areas to the painted areas is smooth ie feather edges. You need to prime the surface with a paint primer after that and then paint the white. Otherwise you'll have lighter and daker reas. If it were me and if that fender is metal I'd just use some paint stripper and remove all the old paint, wash thoroughly, dry and then repaint it. Cheers |

Use an aluminum metal prep rinse, a primer for aluminum and then wetsand and clean well before final color.

If that mudguard is steel, the process is similar but the chemistry of the acid wash is different and you'll have a wider selection of primers. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

Sand it back to clean metal first. The patches didn't come off even with P100. Perhaps it wasn't paint but some sort of coating. It was thick so probably. Its' aluminum, right? Yes. I first sanded to at least get smooth edges. Then sprayed with zink spray first and then white, twice. The result is the fenders are dazzlingly white to the point the rest of the bike is now yellow. The edges from the patches of the old paint (or coating) are visible to the perfectionist looking for them, otherwise no. Next time tho I'll get them away completely or else not do it. -- underground experts united .... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 Emacs Gnus Blogomatic ......... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/blogomatic - so far: 37 Blogomatic articles - |
