Awesome. Do I need to strip it before I paint it?
I would.
Is it completely necessary?
I honestly dont know. You can do a quick chemical strip
It would be easier if I didn’t have to strip it. I have already sanded the rims btw
Make a new post.
Call it: do you need to strip a yoyo before you paint it
Ok I will lol
I didn’t steal it :o…
I just so happened to get Thank You’s from other members…
Not my problem that you got TY’s and so did I ;););)…
Black with that would be 10x better instead of white…
Ok then that is what I will do.
Paint base color
Spray splash color in paper cup
Dip brush in cup
Flick brush from distance onto base painted yoyo
Or
Dip brush in cup
Drizzle paint over base colored yoyo
Limited only by imagination
put an old bearing in it
airbrush it. It’s allot easier and can give the paint a nice spread. If not just go ahead and use spray paint it works fine too
All my bearings are de-shielded. Would it still work?
Like would paint get through the bearing? I’m guessing it would, right?
Cut a piece of tape the size of your bearing and stick that over the seat.
Maybe you could silicone the bearing seat?
probably wouldnt work then
Yes…
But here is how i do it, put a piece of tape over the bearing seat, just straight across, then get a razor blade and carve out the circle to make it the right size…
NOOOOO!!!
Why not? Silicone would work as a masking agent. If he covered it right, it would work probably better than tape, as he could mask exactly where he wanted to, which is easier said than done while using tape.

And if its the kind of silicone that doesn’t come out easily??
Like Blue gasket Masker?! (At least in my case it sticks and doesn’t come out whole…)
