My 13 yo daughter decided she wants my beater road bike because it rides
so much easier and faster than her *mart MTB. The only problem is she
doesn't like the color, so I offered to spray paint it for her. I know
the drill about putting very thin coats on at a time, but don't know for
sure what I need to do to prep the previous paint for the new colors to
stick.
The old paint is still in pretty good shape, so will sanding it to
roughen the surface be enough for the spray paint (Rustoleum or other
paint which says it's for metal surfaces) to stick properly? I don't
expect the new paint to be as tough as a professional job or a powder
coat, but I'm not paying for a pro job either; I just don't want it to
flake off under normal use.
