My first project is to rejuvenate my 2002 Oakley Scalpel in a light metallic grey with ruby red lenses.
I have my preparation plan (no bumps or gouges so 1200 grit wet sanding) but for paint I have to confess the brain is struggling to make a decision!
I understand the frames are ABS, so I don't think I need a primer as the surface has been sanded back, but feel free to correct me.
With regards to paint thickness I guess this is going to depend on my paint selection. I'm looking for a matt grey metallic finish, preferably without a clear coat.
Here are my original frames, with the original paint, work to the base plastic in some areas:
Is there a knowledgebase anyone can refer me to?
P.S. I will contact Wavecloud in the UK, but I need to work on my profile more before I can PN!
