One good thing about black is it only comes in one color! Well allmost, as you got Gloss, semi-flat and flat texture! Find your poison and skuff it a bit to blend. Rattle can heaven!

No problem with mine, and no, I don't use a pressure washer, for MANY reasons, including the one you are describing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-shock 250 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I thought it was impossible for anodising to "peel off" as it isnt actually a coating as such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbastard Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Have a look at Brads at the next Trial , he uses a pressure washer and think the frames ok. The Graphics on the other hand is a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickgolf_0 Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Hi Want to let you all know John Lampkin at Beta UK came up trumps ! I am very happy to accept the carbon frame covers and decals he kindly sent me within a day of my complaint. I sent him a short note advising him of the problem , in no way was I looking for a new frame and am perfectly happy with the outcome. Once again John and Beta Uk have excelled. A big thank you from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
