Well, I didn't know anything about painting a bike before, so I watched a lots of youtube video about that.
I you want to do this, here are some advices :
- I highly recommend you to take the time to prepare what you need and where you will do it before starting
- If the part you want to paint is varnished, use sand paper to remove it
- if it's a metallic part, use also sand paper to remove the paint
- if it's a plastic part, be carful and gentle, not to scratch the plastic
- Some plastic part do not requiert sand paper, just clean with a sponge, water and soap, then dry before applying new paint.
- DO NOT use Acetone / Propanone to clean plastic parts unless you want some melt marks on it
- If you can't remove the part you want to paint, protect it with cardboard, newspaper : and be sure they don't fall while you paint !
- Start the paint in a well ventilated place, the vapors of the paint are not healthy to breathe (careful of flies, dirt, and leaves if you do it outdoor)
- Watch videos on youtube about it, there is plenty of advice about all you need to know to be prepared
Last but not least : If you completly failed a paint, remember you have sand paper and paint to try again later
for the stickers, well..those are stickers, anyone can put stickers ! (hair dryer can help modify the shape of the sticker, but not to much else it will shrink and break)
