Paint Help

Alright, i have these really ugly neon green flair bars, and im gonna paint them. first off should i do a little sanding on it just to get a good surface for the spray paint to stick? do i have to strip the bars and how do i if i have to?

i was thinking of just going with all white, or maybe a white fadeing into some other color..... suggestions?!?!

if you sand them, sand them so that there is NO paint rest or it will let som little scratches if it with a spray paint.

Alright koolaid man
go to home deopot with lie 15 bucks and get yourself some paint stripper, its in a plstic bottle usually and the one i use is always orange goo-ish looking. buy that, apply a think coat on ur bars, lett sit over night, then the next morning the paint will be all flaky, rubbery kinda, and nasty, so peel it off with a plastic knife.

voila you're done

buy this stuff at like autozone or any auto parts store called TRIM paint, its made for the trim around car windows, a few coats of this stuff and its like a powdercoating, i did it to one of my razor decks.

as for stripping, lacour thinner, however its spelt or wet-dry sand paper works best and leaves a nice smooth-ness to your bars

Haha now I'm curious does this trim paint chip or anything?

lol paint suggestion, paint the curved gusset a totally different color than the bars haha

get paint stripped and paint strip them and then sand them and then get white primar spray paint and good white spray paint and do 2 layers of primary and 2 layers if the good spray paint and then clear coat them and that should do the job
