Application instructions for frame and fork :
Prepare and sand the existing paint with P500 abrasive.
In order to get a natural adhesion, without any sanding, it would be better to follow 3 painting steps successively, without exceeding 30 min between each :
A – Apply the black base in a few fines passes
B– Apply Chameleon paint in a few very fine passes until coverage is achieved. Spray paint (nozzle 1.0 - 1.4 mm, 2.5 - 3.5 bars)
C – Clearcoat: 2–3 coats, 5–10 min interval. Air-drying allows reassembly after 2 hours.
Primers :
No primer is required unless:
The frame is stripped to bare substrate
The surface is uneven or repaired.
In such cases, use an adhesion primer or a filler primer.
For maximum impact resistance (stone chips, etc.), special clearcoats and ceramic clearcoat are recommended.
Stickers :
After 1–2 h drying, lightly scuff the surface with an abrasive sponge, then apply stickers and re-clearcoat.
