But the only replies were HUEHUE LMGTFY and HUE HUE CLOWN BIKE and so on.
If only people would actually tell that before hand, instead of first being a dickass about it and then afterwards crying about it
Whatever, I just wanted to post this to let them know I did it anyway, and now I'm completely and officially done with this ****ty ass forum. Never has there been such a terrible community before, instead of helping beginners they just **** on them.
I'll check on this thread now and then but nothing more than that. Cya
Don't take it so personal this subforum is known for being harshly honest, terrible jokes and lots and lots of gif posts. On that note.. your bike did come out horrendous; I did a bad rattle paint job one time and posted it up over in C&V I got very similar responses but at a lower level of snark, at first I took it as offensive.. then I realized they were just being honest.
Oh and a couple tips for you if you decide to try this again.. you will need masking tape, cloth for plugging threaded surfaces and you will also have to tape off those areas to prevent overspray into the threads. You may not need to remove all the paint, but you must at least evenly break the gloss all the way around the paint, anodized parts like your rims you will need to strip the anodizing and make sure everythings perfectly clean, you will want more than a piece of plastic to lay down you should want an entire "room" made of plastic that can hold the bike frame, your equipment and yourself as well as being ventilated by at the very least a box fan. Thin even coats with the rattlecan is extra extra important too, as can be wet sanding.. As for drying times.. If you've got the ceiling space you'd be better off throwing that sucker into there for a few weeks to give the paint a real chance to dry and harden as well, always allow drying time between processes IE Priming, Paint, Clearcoat...
Most importantly.. you only paint bare parts.. IE the frameset completely stripped down, or the fork with no crown race installed..
