paint ideas
What would happen if you Line-X/Duraline your unicycle? It is the spray one bead liner for trucks and suvs. i have one in my truck bed and it is tough. would there be any issues with doing this?

I dont know what duraline/x-line is, but my guess is that it would probably scratch/chip more easily than powdercoat
No harm in trying though, it wont be bad for the uni

Wouldn't that make your unicycle frame a lot thicker? I had the impression that it doesn't go on in a very thin layer... |

I think that's a great idea!
I had that liner sprayed on my last pickup; it was tough, went through a lot of abuse & still looked great. It's not that thick of a coating. Only problem I see is trying to get it off once you want to do the next paint job. Joe |

Well if you want the equivalent of dipping your uni in plastic, I guess that's one way to go. Make sure your bearing holder and seat tube are protected in some way when they spray.
