Re: Re:

What's debossed mean?

It means that lettering is impressed on surface. He painted with white color, than applied decals and than painted the frame with green color. After that he removed decals and was left with white colored lettering.

Have you made any more progress with this?

Re: Re:

I thought Kleins had to have multicoloured fade paint jobs;-)
Looks good..

Impressive that you also painted it with debossed decals.

What's debossed mean?

haaa! cheers!

not this one!

debossed means the decals dont stand proud because you use a mask on the base coat, then put the top coat on wait for it to dry then remove the mask leaving the inprinted letters , so theres no actual decal to rub off . much more classy. klein are renouned for it!

hope this clears it up.

also look at the pics

Very nice job, so far!

The original forks were made by Spinner; not that hard to find. I know someone who is selling a Klein-labelled Spinner, too.

However, if you take a straight fork, e.g. Cannondale P-Bone, you will get Similar looks to an Attitude

With the original paint, were they stickers or debossed?
