yeah im spray painting my stock forks. will it screw anything up if i spray paint the stock crown race? what about the threads?

 

[MattThomMakesMeWarmInside]

i wouldnt dare spray paint the threads, but I think the crown race is fine. The threads might not be a big deal, but I dont think its good for it. I spray painted my crown race and its been fine

 

[Jon.]

yea if you can cover it up but other wise just sand first

 

[JoshToy]

Cover it with tape. Spray painting the race or the threads is a stupid idea.

 

[jgmurch]

josh, any pics of the new pro???? PLEASEEEE!?!?

 

[Hep Greg]

it doesnt really matter if you paint the crown race, as long as its stock. no point in painting the ENTIRE fork up to the threads, you just need the legs.

 

[Tylerr.]

woowwwww
tape?

 

[kurt warren]

tape everything!!!!!

 

[mitchwashere53]

sand and tap over tope half of forks

 

[Aaron]

Whats the difference if you paint the crown race?
Its just holding the bearings in place really, it doesn't make that much difference, mine has been painted forever, haha.

 

[konowaluk]

just tape it to be safe it will take like 30sec

 

[jamiemac2005]

Definately don't spray the crown race, you'd be surprised at how quickly it can ruin your headset(assuming stock aswell, unsealed headsets ruin easy).

 

[Jakee F]

I agree with Jamey i Painted my crown race and the headset got like sticky when it spun.

 

[Brian Boston]

Personally, i wouldn't paint the crown race. If the paint starts to wear off it will probably get in the bearings and slow shit down.

Who gives a shit about the threads. They almost have no point in being there. When i change bars i just pull up on the bars so the bars slide right over the threads, and push them down when i put the bars back down. None of that screwing nonsense.

 

[JonnyJonDogg]

cover everything from the bottom of the crown race up.

 

[saltwater]

Paper and tape the steerer tube and take the crown race off!

yea i do the same tinh i just slide it on.

 

[scootererwtf]

just get a hammer and a screwdriver and knock the crown race off then u can paint the thing the crown race sits on and it doesnt matter but i dont no about the thread u dont need to anyway no one ever sees it
