Spraying celly over powder coat

[ronan]

I bought a bsa a10 golden flash about 5 years ago to restore , the engine didn't need any work so it was just a matter of tidying up the frame and cycle parts , at that time i wanted the bike to be black ,i had nearly everything powder coated black , i have changed my mind and want the bike to be gold.

Can i spray cellulose over the powder coat or do i have to remove the powder coat ? Do i need a special primer such as the special primer used to spray grp ?

That will look nice!..........If you put cellulose over powder coat there is every chance of it coming off, and the finish will dull with UV after a while anyway, so a good idea to strip the bike and redo the job properly.

I would flat and scuff it up and spray, have sprayed over powder (though not with celly) no problems. It just needs a key, and you want the peely/ripply finish of the powder gone anyways.

Epoxy primer's good

or decent 2k after a good scuffing

Is there an alternative to the 2k ? I have an air fed mask but i live in an estate and think 2k fumes might cause someone to get sick, i don't want that.
What about acrylic ?
