yup you will have to use DUPONT paint cause purple is rare and white or gray base coat so that the paint will stay nice with good finish call me for more detail bored to type just coming back from nandi

Hi Nilesh,

Can you share some details for our benefit.. Typing is boring, but bear it a bit for us. Else, phone number please :-)

Thanks

Who can do this dupont paint for me? I need to scrape all the paint
off of my Jet and paint it purple. Wouldn't mind calling you but I
can't find your phone number anywhere.

Okay. So the story so far is that we want to paint a few bicycles
purple and put some Yahoo! custom decals on and get some attention.
Hopefully that will get my stock options back in black. :)

or just pick up a paint gun from SP road .. they are not very expensive.

You can get some metallic paint - you can mix and match and have a custom color. And then lacquer the whole thing.
Lots of work, but lots of fun :)

yeah .. its good fun :)

at the same time make sure you take care to protect exposed threads ! I made a mistake and the bottom bracket threads were messed up with lacquer and we had a tough time later

The trick is to get someone who has already done this before to help out. I could do this, but am not going to be around for a bit. Nilesh, do you want to have a session at BOTS ? Folks can get their frames and paint em :) Should be loads of fun !!

I guess I'll just find an auto paint-walla. We're hoping to paint many
more if trials work out.

Hey Rushi I remember seeing this post from Abhi (at Bikeszone) about
him having got his bike painted... try searcing on the bikeszone forum
or just ping him.
