Best way to make black spray paint not to chip.

[tyler33 0]

I spray painted the bottom of all my Ops's black, but after a couple of games, all most all of it has chipped off. What should I put on it, after or before I spray paint so it will not chip? Thanks.

Spray it with clear coat.

I would sand of the paint, put on a paint primer, then paint, then put a clear coat... but thats jsut me. A clear coat will help for a little while, but it will eventually chip

I tried using spraypaint also, but had the same problem. When it was all chipped off i decided to use Toe Protect, the product made for the toe caps of your skates. The result has been much better then anything i have tried to protect my blades.

When I paint sticks I paint it black and put clear spray paint and it works great

Like everyone else said, spray a clear coat over it, or just re-spray it every time needed be.

Your supposed to sand the shaft before you paint it.

doesnt that make your stick wicked blade heavy?

If it does affect the balance, it shouldn't make it noticably de-grading or shouldn't affect the performance. May feel a tab heavier, but no different than adding a layer of tape to your shaft or whatnot.

Actually it doesn't. I can't even tell the difference if it's spray painted or not. I am sure it makes it a couple grams heavier but nothing noticable.

Yeah toe pro is pretty heavy stuff, I used it to paint a blade black once and I could feel it.

I know its one of the oldest threads, but what does putting paint on your stick do?

[pantherfan 0]

Nothing it's purley for cosmetic reasons

Superstitions... "hides the puck". Most do it for looks though.

sry to re-open this thread but what is the best kind of spray-paint to use or is any kind fine?

[mack 44]

I use whatever's the cheapest and never noticed a difference.

I'm used to having black blades, since pretty much all graphite blades are black. So when I buy a non-black blade/stick, I paint it.
