Re: [RBW] Ceramic coating the paint

[Jacob Byard]

The paint on my Gus chips constantly. Paint comes off the braze-ons if I install a rack. Gravel road rock strikes chip the downtube.  I plan on stripping and clear coating the frame so I haven’t been too bothered by the chips.  -Jacob  Sent from my iPhone On Oct 26, 2023, at 8:30 AM, Patrick Moore <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote:  What is ceramic coating for paint? I've never heard of it. My first Riv, a Waterford custom, had chippy paint but all the rest, including Sam and Ram had much more durable paint. Do others find that current Riv paint jobs chip easily?

I'm very interested to hear more about ceramic coating from the group's collective experience and wisdom. My one major frustration with my Rivendells has been the fragility of the paint (my AHH is acquiring "beausage" at an alarming rate compared with my other bikes); I'd love if there were a way to reduce chipping and maintain the beauty of the original paint for longer.
