dying wheels and painting bars

[Joe Riley]

alright, so im going to dye some metal cores. i already know to get rit dye, but do i get it in powder form or liquid? thanks in advance.

also, i will be spray painting my bars. ill be buying montana spray paint online. is there any certain type i should buy? i was looking at "Montana Alien" spray paint, but i wanted to check here first.

Should've bumped the wheel dyeing thread.

I prefer liquid dye.

 

[Joe Riley]

but is there a difference?

and i shouldve, but im not the sharpest tool in the shed.

 

[Jason]

Liquid dye doesn't need as much stirring.

Lol I'm not sure. Liquid just seems easier.

 

[Joe Riley]

one more question, i tried ordering off the site and the way you pay seemed weird. can you pay with paypal? it asked my for billing information, but it didnt include anything about paypal, so i got really confused.

 

[Hep Greg]

dont get alien.

get Montana Hardcore, or Montana Gold.

 

[Joe Riley]

alright, thanks. im still having trouble ordering from RIT's website, though...

EDIT: THIS IS BULLCRAP. they dont take paypal, so i cant order from there and every other site is more money. whatever...

and i cant go to a store for it, im sick as hell right now.

yeah get this paint http://www.hobbycosf.com/mogospco.html and just go to a hobby store like ac moore or michaels for the dye?

 

[Joe Riley]

cant go to a store, i have pneumonia. trying other store sites now..

 

[Jason]

Haha you sure you should be using spraypaint with pneumonia?

 

[Joe Riley]

ill be sure to use a face mask.

i think the powder rit dye works better. thats only because i dyed my wheel with it, then used liquid to dye a rubber bracelet and liquid dye failed.

 

[Joe Riley]

i give up on dying the wheels for now, but im still doing my bars.

what looks better, montana hardcore clear gloss or montana hardcore clear mate? is there a difference?

 

[lentilsoup8]

mat is flat and gloss is shiny

 

[Joe Riley]

alright, gloss it is.

 

[Tanner!]

do you have to use montana spray?

 

[Joe Riley]

no, but greg says its the best. so im getting it.

 

[alexanderespinoza]

get powder cause you could use less water than needed and make the wheel more bold

 

[Ryan Upchurch]

^^^^
yup. i use powder and the wheels turn out much better. but when it comes to painting bars i just get krylon.
what i do:
sand
primer

color

clear coat

your bars will be pearl.

Any site that takes credit cards, takes paypal. Go into your paypal account and go to the "paypal plug-in". Then create a secure card. This will generate a credit card number, cvv2 number, and an expiration date. Use that on the site and it will automatically take out from your paypal account. YEAAAA!!!
