  1. hello there!

    i'm planning on getting a new unicycle from bedford unicycles, and then
    getting my chinese name and some other characters put onto the frame.

    i think it'd be too detailed to do a vinyl cutting (which was my plan to
    begin with) so i'm thinking of getting some paint and a fine
    paintbrush.

    anyone have any experience custom-painting their unicycle frame? is
    there anything in particular i should buy? anything i should avoid??

    thanks!!

  4. What's the uni going to be used for? If it's a trials or MUni, I
    wouldn't bother with a nice paint job, it would get messed up too fast.
    If it's a distance or freestyle, go for it. I've never tried painting
    one of my unicycles so I don't have much in the way of insight. I do
    know that powder coating seems to be the way to go in terms of strength.
    I think it would be best to powder coat the base and hand paint the
    details. You can always repaint the details if and when it gets messed
    up.

  5. mostly it would be for commuting and learning purposes (still learning
    how to ride) and maybe some muni once i get better at riding (i.e. learn
    to ride)

    it'll already be powdercoated, i just want to paint the chinese
    characters on.

    hrm...

    In that case, just use nail polish. It'll give you the cool brush
    strokes.
