I also posted this in the VB-177 thread. Figured a brand new topic/thread would better raise awareness.

„TraceVelo“ has noted in his video comparing that the disc-brakes on the cheap models is no rubber seal at the transition from the brake arm to the brake piston but there’re included in the Juin Tech F1…

Are the BR-05 brakes from Oniri with or without rubber seal?

• Always wear PPE when working with aerosols, especially the 2K stuff! I wore a respirator, gloves, and safety glasses when doing any kind of spraying. (All of my sanding was wet sanding, so there was no concern with dust.)
• I used a scrap of PVC pipe to practice and test techniques on. This gave me a good idea of how well the paint sanded and polished, and I was also able to practice doing fades.
• Bikes are very weird shapes, so it helps to have a large work surface and a rack to hang the frame during painting.
• Change sandpaper frequently, as the finer grits clog very easily.
• Always inspect your work in good lighting, such as direct sunlight. Some issues will not show up well otherwise.
• The online color guide for Montana Cans wasn’t a great match. The frame ended up significantly more purple than intended. The paint did match the color samples on the cans though.
• I had a few issues with my finger overhanging the spray nozzle and causing drips. It pays to check your finger position frequently.
