How can I ensure a high-quality finish when painting a carbon bike frame?

Answer 1

To ensure a high-quality finish when painting a carbon bike frame, follow these steps:

1. Clean the frame thoroughly to remove any dirt or grease.
2. Sand the frame lightly to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to.
3. Apply a primer specifically designed for carbon surfaces to improve paint adhesion.
4. Use high-quality paint and apply multiple thin coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
5. Finish with a clear coat to protect the paint and give it a glossy finish.
