Hi,
I'm thinking about painting my bike, but I don't want to add any extra weight to the total weight of the bike.
So, is there a light weight paint that I can use or do I have to strip the old paint down to the metal?
If I do strip it, how do I determine the weight of the old paint so that I can match the new paint in order to not increase the total weight?
Also, what's the lightest color? I would imagine clearcoat, but was thinking about going with a darker shade of clearcoat.
Is the difference significant or negligable?
Finally, what time of the day would be best to paint it?
Thanks!
