Gday folks,
I have 2 projects currently on the go... the restos of a 2 group Brasilia, and a 2 group La Pavoni.
The Brasilia was in bad shape and needed the frame and aluminium panels sand blasted and powder coated. The La Pav has the standard ABS plastic side panels.
I am looking at giving both machines a bit of a tart up with a fancy paint job...I understand that some new machines can be delivered to customers with a custom paint job, so am sure this can be done.
My questions are :
1. What preparation is needed before painting over ABS plastic
2. Are there any considerations regarding heat resistance when deciding on paint types/techniques etc
Thanks to anyone who may be able to help in this area.
Cheers,
buff
