• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Frame Paint Suggestions?

Just wondering if anyone has suggestions on a good frame paint to use this winter. I had my bike frame blasted and powder coated (Looked Great)but now the paint is chipping off. Seems like every time I have something powder coated, the paint chips off.:thumbsdown:

Has anyone tried using automotive basecoat/clear cloat? Acrylic Enamel? Imron? With great success?


Thanx!

I had my frames painted with Imron paint at a body shop. Paint has a wet look to it. Easy to clean. Paint still rubs off on bottom of frame and where boots rub against it.
 
I know the feeling but these, I think are way better than powder coating. It seems to take the flex out of the frames and chips just looking at it. I almost went Imron.

I think alot of these paints are harder now that they have taken stuff out of them.
