Candy Painting a Frame

<< < (2/3) > >>

Menno:
That looks like a cd50 frame I have laying around.

Would it only be the frame or also the rear bridge?

With a cd50 it would be tank, fork ears, headlight case, rear bridge, frame, framecovers, rear fender.

Tanks are often more expensive since they need a lot of prep work.
A frame mostly doesn't have dents and so on. And no lining work.
They need however a layer of clearcoat or two.

120 pound would come to 150 euro.

Well I would have to think about that.
I have no clue what shipment would cost.
What are the measurements?

It is frame /swinging arm/chaincases candy red  , tank candy red (no striping etc) , fork rears candy red, shock tops (plastic) candy red, headlamp shell candy red, side covers (plastic) candy red  Front & rear plastic mudguards  ( fenders) are in Honda Cloud Silver. We do have a subsidiary near Stuttgart and we ship back & forth to Germany all of the time.  So possibly I could get a shipping deal, but still fear it is going to be expensive due to bulk/weight. Obviously everything will be blasted clean with 0/50 grade glass beads and I think the tank is dent free (still in Japan). Sounds a lot of parts but they are all very tiny !  :)

It is a bit confusing to me. The topic starts about a frame.
Now it is about 10 parts in candy ruby red and 2 parts in silver.

Most of the time smaller parts are not easier to paint.


I cannot do that for 150 euro. Paint would already be more expensive.

Shipment however could be easier. I have someone living near Stuttgart and he could pick it up and bring it to me.

And to be honest: I really would advise not to sandblast it with whatever. Please let me chemically clean the metal parts.
It is not expensive and you will never have any build up on rest parts of whatever you use to clean anywhere.
And sandblasting is never 100% accurate in my experience. There is always paint remaining somewhere.

I wasn't asking you you to do it for that price! I was merely informing what the total job is that I will be requiring from one or more painters. I bead blast the parts with really,really fine beads that are clean ( never used on other parts) This is what Andrew Parnaby suggested I do. No disrespect but he has been painting parts for John Wyatt, David Silver, top magazine restos's in the UK for many years and has no website and never advertises and has a three month waiting list.

Menno:
Ok, I get it  ;D

To be honest, I think I would sandblast still if this huge cleaning company would not be in my area.

My experience:

The problem with sandblasting is this: the material (whatever you use) gets blown with force in every crack and opening.
So if you have a sheet metal frame (not a pipeframe) there are areas  where the sand or glass will build up and not easy to clean. (read impossible)
When in time it gets wet it will start to rust really fast.


I don't want to contradict anyone who has a very good reputation in what he does but somewhere this, putting your bike in a sandstorm and than paint it, seems not the best way to go.

If you paint with sir Parnaby I would follow his advise.
But If you want me to paint stuff, well yust send it as it is and I'll have it chemicaly cleaned.  :)

About your cd.. I would have to think about a price on that. It's a lot of work.
