|   Paint blister and corrosion on Magnesium Litech frames | Clive Craske
Aug 11, 2002 9:41 AM | | I have a Magnesium Litech frame and the paint job is very poor (green metallic paint). The frame itself is OK. Paint is blistering and peeling, and shows gray undercoat and spots of what must be soft white magnesium oxide.
How do I respray an Mg frame? I'm worried that if I rub it down the whole frame will corrode! |
