Spraying a carbon frame

[Proflexman]

I have noticed that some of your carbon frames are shiney though i dont put down to lighting conditions i thought it might be possible to spray the frame with a good two pack system to seal the frame and seal in the decals on the frame.
Will this work or has anyone tried it.  [smiley=bomb.gif]

i am not in the know about frame spraying lacquer or anyhting on an Oz, some others here do and will respond...

the frames were made in two runs, maybe a year apart. the first run was the duller one and the second was glossier.  they are identical as far as i know other than the finish. both are atrractive in their own way, yet i am partial to the glossies!

    Just as a reminder, the outside surface of the front triangle is actually a thermoplastic.  The carbon fiber composite "backbone" is a flat plate sandwiched between two molded shells.  If you want to clear-coat the front triangle, use a paint/finish that is compatible with thermoplastics.  These are readily available these days since so many cars (like Saturns) and car parts are made of plastics.

   The swingarm is a carbon fiber composite layup.

So only the front triangle is an "earth friendly" recyclable plastic???  Perish the thought of a recycled Oz

Ohhhhhhh!  Dont' even think it.
