hey guys,
i just sanded down the lowers of 2k manitou mars C. they were made out of maganesium, is this safe? And the arch is made out of carbon fiber, so it safe to take the orange paint of that too? (it fades from orange to the cool carbon stuff on the top.

oh oh and anyone know where i can get hooked up with some fly manitou stickers? thanks guys

I wouldnt sand the carbon fiber it will probably weaken it
and for sanding the magnesium I am not sure about that, but I do know that drilling in mag requires alot of care.
Just use clippersOldSchool

Poor pup.
Magnesium corrodes easily, that's why the paint was there NMGrahamKracker

Maybe you should have asked before you did it. Magnesium corrodes very quickly upon exposure to water. Sanding carbon fiber is a no-no.
