gummibear Posted April 22, 2019 Share Rather a repair,paint and rebuild. My dog knocked the bike over and it hit a brick wall. Now time to have it repaired and rebuild as I really miss riding this frame. Repair will be done professionally but I will attempt the respray myself. Original decals have been ordered.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 23, 2019 Share Wish we got that paint in SA, does anyone know of something similar that we can get here?you can get pretty decent results with RUSTOLEUM, but as with any paint, less is more. Lots of light coats, not few deep coats. Gonna be doing my ALPINA like that as well. Rustoleum is available in Builders and other hardware stores.

Grebel Posted May 10, 2019 Share you can get pretty decent results with RUSTOLEUM, but as with any paint, less is more. Lots of light coats, not few deep coats. Gonna be doing my ALPINA like that as well. Rustoleum is available in Builders and other hardware stores. Some automotive paint shops mix 2K in a can. Plascon Touch Up is one of them. You get the can with the colour of your choice with the paint and hardener separate. Once you "activate" the mixture and mix the two together you have a limited time to spray before it goes hard in the tin.
