So I want to paint my carbon road frame and I would just Prime it and spray it then clear coated it like I've done before on stuff with really really good results. I don't care about the weight I'd be adding which is "substantial". The hold up is the fact the stupid bikes decals are decals instead of paint so the decals are raised all over the thing just enough that Primeering and sanding it will never be smooth so they intact have to come out.

It would take light years to just sand it as is and burn thrunthe decals. Using a paint stripper would be too messy, smelly and impractical to do at home here as well as I imagine taking it to the actual weave.

The only easy thing I can think of would be to block off all the holes in the frame and have it sand blasted or something? Like a walnut shell blasting?


Ideas?

It might sound absurd but I HATE the decals and branding on the frame and will sell the bike otherwise. I already had the paint made up which is aston Martin British racing green.
