Nigelpugh Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Hi Guys, Been signed up for over a year but not made a post, so thought I should say hi. I have just taken delivery of a Montesa 4RT, not new, but good enough for me to get back into the sport. I previously owned another Montesa, a 315R and used to compete in local clubman trials. Something I plan to do again with my new to me 4RT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigelpugh Posted September 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 So the graphics on my 4RT had definitely seen better days, the tank ones in particular seem to have been damaged by petrol which has stained them. Luckily new genuine Montesa graphics are not that pricy, and as my bike already has the 300RR rear mudguard and graphics, I ordered some to match the tank and frame and they were delivered today, so just sat down and fitted them. First I had to remove the tank graphics and clean the old adhesive off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelpugh Posted September 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Quite easy to get the old adhesive off as it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelpugh Posted September 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Then on with the new tank graphics, I’m well pleased with these! That’s odd , looks like I have run out of upload storage usage on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelpugh Posted September 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 So it seems you have to be a TC supporter to be able to post lots of pictures so I have just paid my TC Subs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigelpugh Posted September 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Next was on to the frame graphics, which were peeling more than I thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelpugh Posted September 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Then adding the new frame graphics, which thankfully cover a lot of the small chips and dents on the main frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelpugh Posted September 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Finally I also got the silencer cover graphic, mine is very badly scratched, but will have to do, it looks a bit better with the new graphic on it though!

You can see the bottle on one of the pictures. Its Wurth brake cleaner, brilliant at removing adhesive of any sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a simple basic chemical so I don't think I need to pay extra for a brand name. BTW, don't use carb cleaner on anything except a carb. It softens paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
