I have a set of older Enve DH bars which I like the fee & shape of, but the big white ENVE graphics have always been a bit much. A subtle matt black would be nice.
Anyone painted a set? I was thinking of lightly sanding the lacquer, masking the contact points and just going for it with Halfords rattle cans.... primer first then matt black.
Am I an idiot?
I've painted carbon without problems.
Just standard spray paint, nothing special?
got carbon forks painted at a spray shop. I prepped they painted. standard 2 pack.
Ask Slugrider, that’s if they will be able to respond to pms
Yes std rattle can. Stuck fine. I didn't prime.
You can often remove the white logo lettering with acetone. Not tried Enve's, nor carbon bars to be fair but I reckon it would be alright.
Edit- get a bottle of proper 100% acetone from the chemists, not your missus nail polish.
Have you tried sticking tape over the graphics and peeling it off? Works wonders for getting graphics off my carbon RM frame!
Get some black Enve logos from ebay and stick them over the white ones?
Ta for sugestions but the graphics seems to be well baked on under lacquer and around the stem clamp areas would be awkard to do with a sticker
fit in stem, cut stickers to butt up to stem.
Or just use a Sharpie
