I had my Fox bike sandblasted today, and I have to say I have a solid old-school mini in my possession. This is my first minibike project, and so far, so good. I lightly sanded with 1000 grit after the blasting, then wiped with paint thinner before hitting with primer.
Maybe I should have removed the fenders before the local shop sandblasted my project, but I am kind of glad to discover the former colors on the bike (after removing the fender I discovered a lime green, as well as the most current metallic blue). I will not remove the two hues, so that future owners can see its history.
I am excited to start painting, but I cannot decide on color. Orange is my first choice just because it is so bold. Yellow is my second choice for the same reason, while my kids say slime green. I feel pressured to go with green because this is supposed to be "for the kids."
Well, I will keep you posted with photos.
