Has anyone painted their frame pucks? If so how well has the paint held up on the rubber/plastic? I'm in the middle of painting the whole bike and wheels among other mods. Pics to come later. Thanks Jelly

Xbjelly-after my spill last March I sanded my left side puck down, and painted it. Looked good all the way up to last week, then I started another project:





If you use the 'adhesion promoter' that Dupont sells it shouldn't be a problem. My pucks will eventually be painted black again, after the rest is done!

Thanks Jim! I can't wait to see your paint when finished. I have been taking pics of all my work also. I'll post them someday. I want to get out and ride with you guy's out east this summer. Later

I just painted mine last week. I used Krylon Fusion paint. It comes in a spray can. It takes many coats to get the job done, I think i almost used the whole can, but they come out pretty well.

Xb-Look in the C3 section in StormFronts. We have a ride around here planned for May 6th. Your only about 1 hour to us from Concord! If we met @ Morrow MTN it may be less!

Hey Xbjelly,
what kind of paint are you using to paint your bike?

I like that a lot Apex! My R is very similar to your S except I haven't gotten my custom paint yet.
