Yeah I'll buy some montana paint tomorrow. I know the paint on the pedal won't last long (+ it's plastic :P) but it will be nice for the first rides :P

Belton is another good brand for paint. If you can't find either of these then the last choice should be Rustoleum, but make sure it is Painter's Touch, many of the other kinds of Rustoleum paint will either run (making it uneven) or be too thin.

Any kind of Montana or Belton should do the trick though, but I don't know if you can get it at your hardware store.

Rustoleum is about half the price and will take probably two coats.

Make sure you leave the hub for at least a few hours to dry.


That last picture was really cool too.

For the pedals you should totally wait until the purple Animal Plastics come out, those are way sexier than those other purple plastics.

I found a montana shop in Montréal www.mtncanada.com

Yes the hub will dry a few hours, even a few days. I won't start lacing my wheel before tuesday.

Thanks, I like that pic too.

I'm not buying any pedals at the moment, so we'll see.
