Boulder Defiant, one of my unicorn of the 90's...

Excited for tomorrow's update Fred.

And crossing my fingers for you in the meantime!

The crown came up a treat, too.

Nice work.

This thread might shame me into doing something about mine!

Green is cool

For sure OG Green is nice, but it needs a repaint so go for the purple-blue top coat...

Happy !! After a night of cure, the results are here...





It will soon be time to place order for new decals from Gil...

More to come...

Is it only the carbon you sprayed, or the whole fork leg, including the uppers?

The whole leg, like original.

Checking in for updates on this one. Always fancied a Boulder myself and have come close a couple of times. The fork legs are looking great

But surely the metal bits didn't have a clear coat applied to them originally?

Just asking because on the photos it looks like those have been done too. I guess I just assumed it would only be the carbon itself that was getting recoated.

Take a look closely at your fork and you can see that it's coated on the carbon but also on aluminium parts. Mine had some scratch on the dropouts so it was easy to see the initial top coat. At first I thought to coat only the legs but I preferred to coat the whole leg, as originally.
You can go for a leg only coating, just need more of masking work.
