In image 6 and image 7 you will see the biggest problem with repainting with my method used. You can see the the paint around the grommet holes tend to peel, maybe from the vibrations from the strings? But the paint anywhere else on the racquet has no peeling problems. I should also mention that the paint is very soft so try not to dig your fingernails too hard into it.
Image 8 and 9 are of the MP100. You can see in image 9 that the shaft is a bit rough from trying to sand off the original paint (not recommended). The automotive paint sticks to the original paint just perfectly except around the grommet holes of course.
There you have it. Hope the pictures will give a good idea of what the racquets will look like painted.
how do you paint it? do you use a sprayer the ones used to paint a car or airbrush sprayer? it might help so the paint wont be too thick and help limit weight increase. and before spraying remove the grommets carefully with a long nose pliers or tweezers.
um...for my case, part of the paint on my racket frame fell off because of clashing. Is it possible to repaint only the damaged parts? If so, how?
Lol well i tried to experiment with covering up chips w/ hobby paint but looks like its damaged my racket cause the paint when bubbling =[ Did it really dmg my racket tho?
oh i used the car paint 18 karet gold spray paint 2 layer and 3 layer of clear lacquer...before painting i took off all the single grommet and replaced it with dual grommet on all hole after painting is dry. Will took some pic when i am free..... hehe some modding on the racquet
