DIY Colour Fade Paint Job 

Can't remember if I mention this (forgive me, I'm pretty ill!) I did clear coat the frame after I peeled off the tape and before I showed the finished result. I just didn't film it

That turned out nice,Julie! Glad you went with the fade. I'd keep the dinos as an homage to your daughter.

OH MY GOD. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AROUND RU-vid FOR SOOOO LONG FOR THIS TYPE OF TUTORIAL. THANK YOU KIND MADAM.

Love the dinos, frame looks great.

I think that in about 30 years you and your daughter will be rummaging thru the shed and will come across this frame. You'll look at each other and laugh and cry, and anything you've ever done in your life will be worth that moment.

Juliet, You are definitely fun to watch! I made my own decals by purchasing decal paper online then designing the decals on my computer and printing them out. After printing I clear coated them with the same paint as I would use on the bike. Then it was just a matter of transferring them to the bike, clear coating the whole thing and done! That is easier than stenciling I would think. You have a great sense of humor and are pretty quick to boot! Way to go.

Juliet, check out the Satin Oil paint job of the top-tier Specialized Diverge 2018 model. Or Trek's Project One paint jobs, such as the Gloss Purple, the Purple Flip, the Candy Emerald, or the Refliptive. Or the Genesis Datum Women's 2017 Purple. Or the purple of the Scott Foil (Model : 274713), the glossy gradient purple of the Garneau A1 2017. Or the Norco Search XR Ultegra 2018 model, but with its beautiful pastel blue transitioning to a somewhat more vivid, matching colour in the rear; idem with the Rival version, but with either a lighter or a darker green in the rear end. Sublime! All worthy successors to Klein's paint job excellence. I must say, you did a remarkably good job of spray painting the bike without professional knowhow and equipment. What strikes Me more - is the choice of your colours. I like your taste! Oh, and a compliment on your delightful eyes. I hope, your husband is endowed with matching good genes: it's very painful seeing truly beautiful women (more like, bimbos), such as Doutzen Kroes - defile their flesh and ruin their genes by a thoroughly and insufferably poor choice of bedmates: www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3798072/Doutzen-Kroes-step-style-Clinton-Global-Citizen-Awards.html (excuse the nauseating nature of the snapshot).

I think you did an awesome job for a first attempt at spraying a bike. I love the purple and green together and the fade idea looks really cool.

Fantastic effort, great result and I love the joy you put into these videos.

Know that feel. I’ve got 4 bikes in the hallway in various states of completion, plus others stashed in secret spots the wife doesn’t know about. Love the dinosaurs, they’re super cool!

You could air brush the dinosaurs and eggs when they’re white like that, you’d then take pink in your airbrush and add shading and whatnot to blend them into the background so they don’t look so stark and bold against it

I came on here as i am thinking of re spraying a bike and after watching your video, I am inspired to do it ASAP ...you did a fantastic job!! Thanks for uploading this video and the link for the spray paint too! Have a great day!

thought of something to add a few days ago but have been out of touch in the woods since. the 2nd bike I painted was a fade that started with your two exact starting colors. my third color was a yellow/orange at the extremities. i'm not a fan of the cream base layer, and have a suggestion if that color still bothers you. have your daughter practice coloring in dinos until you both feel comfortable enough for her to do it, and without worrying too much about staying inside the lines, or messiness, etc. in fact, the more expressive the better. the bike would have more meaning for the both of you, and when she gets old enough to ride, she can have Mom's bike!

I think the fade is great. Considering this is the first time you've tried painting a frame, it's awesome.

Very good tutorial, thanks for sharing. It really help me out with my project.

nice to see. just bought the paint and was wandering how it worked. thank you!

i like the taped hard contrast at the bottom more than the fade :)

Ah brilliant. It’s great and I like how you mixed things up as you went along. Chapeau to you both!

It's a good job, bikes are whatever you want them to be, bet your daughter loves it and that's priceless 👍

FWIW - I spray painted a good frame thinking that it would be non-descript and I could lock it anywhere with no worries. Got loads of compliments from strangers & loved the bike to death (the frame's; not mine). Wait till it's built up and you've had it out in the world. You may love it. And awesome job painting and sharing!

Yaaaas. Looks amazing. Jurassic Fork is cute AF. I bet your daughter loves it. 🦕🦖 brilliant first effort. You should be really proud of that.

cutest video ever! I loved all about it! you painting dinosaurs for your daughter, your hubby helping out and being supportive, your honesty! I loved how the cream colour looked like. I think I'm going to paint mine just that colour. Maybe you didn't like the dinosaurs because of the contrast but perhaps if you aim from far away you might smooth the edges. Anyways this was like two years ago so. Subscribed!

Nice work for your first time out. And I loved the dinosaur idea. I think it could work. May I suggest a couple of pro tips? 1) Hang your frame from the ceiling of your shed using thin wires. Screw several small hooks into the roof beams of your shed to provide a variety of attachment points. 2) Spray the inside corners of the frame first before moving on to spray the more accessible outside surfaces of the frame.

Video title marketing suggestion: "ASMR Bronchitis whispered paint fade" Great color choices. I like the dinos on the fork as well.

GREAT JOB GURL!

stellar. well done

Thank you for trying out my idea. 😄😄

I love this - im gona spray my sons bike x

Go with some white bar tape and a white saddle to pick out the dinos, it'll look smashing.

Juliet, Dave! I'm loving this, when i get back from my tenerife week riding I'm totally respraying my bike!

Looks good

Cute frame. Now I will have some motivation to do my bike's frame as well.

You can color in the dinasors. Then clear coat it.

Wow! Love that track frame. Wish i can afford that too, its too much expensive here in my country 😂. I have a steel fixie/track bike, im gonna repaint it and your video is so usefull to me.

Great job

The bike looks awesome and so do the Dinos and the eggs!

Fantastic job I'd love that frame

I really like the dinosaurs! Though you're right they would probably look cooler with a brighter colour base coat coming through

Very nice!

It's really cool and I think you should keep the dinosaurs. I find the mix of fade and hard colour transition a little jarring, but what do I know! The colours are great.

That's an excellent 10-foot paintjob (but ok, a not-so-great 3-foot paintjob.) You'll be zooming past fast enough nobody will pick out the imperfections. Pretty cool DIY project and honestly a good advert for what a typical user can expect - good solid colors that come out "good enough" for a garage project and are nicely priced for a home mechanic.

Lovely paint job!

Awesome paint job haha.

Owwww my g.i will make my own but your steps are my insight and i will choose my own color hehe thankyou for sharing this kind of video -from philipines

Good job. The dinosaurs are kinda fun. I think they suit you.

I just heard about this paint. I have an origin 8 steel frame that is boring grey. I think I'm going to strip it down and do a celeste with pink unicorns because my daughter loves them... mostly because I do 🦄. Nice dinos.

Nice job Juliet. Im trying to learn painting also. Great colors on your frame. I really like your joyful enthusiasm while you work. Very fun to watch .Cheers :)

Look great! Love the colors.

Hope you feel better. The frame looks way better then the pic you posted on instagram. I actually love it! Good morning!

It looks amazing and I love the dinosaurs!!!

Awesome! pop on some clear coat and maybe a little bit of the hot pink on the bottom of the fork? (like a small pinstripe up from the axel?)

Hello, I tryed to paint my bike frame as well but the paint sucked und got cracks and stuff. I want to undo the process with sandpaper and then I would like to paint it again. What paint did you use and does it holds good? Your color mixture looks great. 👍👍 I would love to hear from you. Joris

I think the dino's are DOPE! But I agree with you in that if they were pink they'd look better.

Hi Juliet, i was just wondering what the longevity of the paint has been like since you lacquered the frame? Does it last well.

that looks sick. If you could change one thing about the process what would it be? From watching if you had a basic vice you could have held the frame, so that you could go around it 360 degrees, that would have made it a tonne easier. (I don't have a vice either)

Looks good! Deffo keep the dinosaurs. Your daughter will love you for it 👍

Looks fine, good job.

This is awesome! Got a track frame that is asking for a respray!

Looks so great!

Wow, you did a great job that's a beautiful paint.

Looks great! Where did you get your dinosaur stickers from?

Well done! Love the Dinosaur

I think it looks great! Digging the dinos.

THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!!

Velociraptors😀 velo but apt for bikes. Looks a good choice of colours just some gloss to keep it looking nice.

Love the Paint job. Keep the dinos.

my god I love your bike 😍😍😍

Nice!

I agree the dino's would look better if they were pink. You should put you channel icon on your down tube, really make it yours

I would totally take that bike for a rip. Good job, subscribed immediately lol. Cheers 🍻

im planning to paint the same color to my frame looks stunning those combinations are lit , can anyone suggest whats the color ?

If you wanted to fill in the dinosaur s, you could use some fingernail polish? also film the build up of the bike and also riding it around.

I'm digging it.

I would have also faded the pink color. Then put a clear coat over everything.

please keep us up to date on your painted bike!

that came out super hot. what about putting on a glossy clear coat on it?

If you stick the stickers to your shirt or like a towel first it will allow them to release much easier without pulling the base layer of paint off

Good design!

looks dope . think you should outline the dino's in the pink

Are you going to put a layer of lacquer on it so it shines?

A+!love it

Looks awsome 👍

I think you're right it would of been nicer with the dinosaurs in pink.

Great job, like the colors, keep the dinosaurs,time for hot tea and scotch whisky for sore throat!

thought you did a fine job. I am like you not sure of the dinosaurs but you can always re-paint

I love the dinosaurs 🦕❤️❤️

I think the dinosaurs remind me of our Canadian MBA team, The Toronto Raptors.

Finally I found this video, I've been looking for it for a while. I've ordered some paint from them, and as soon as it gets a bit warmer, I'm going to paint the frame on my old GT XCR 4000 MTB, as it is now, it's red/white/black, but it's going to be completely black with a satin clear coat. Anyways, as always I'm enjoying your videos. A quick question, do you have a Patreon account I can support?

Red dinosaurs would have made it look awesome!!

I love it

Looks great. the fade looks good. Dave sounded a bit like Barry White to start with. :)

That came out pretty cool! I've spray painted a few motorcycles over the years, so I know how finicky it can be. Are you planning to build the frame up soon? I've been toying with idea of painting an old frame as well, so I'd love to know how the paint holds up.

Bacim cok müthüş boyadiniz sizi tebrik ediyorum.

it looks pretty good ! :)

U sound like that in-the-wild-geezer..David Attenborough..😆😆😆

Which paint pens where you referring to? Do you have a link?

Love the hard edge to the paint line. I think the answer is no, but did the hair dryer soften the paint as well? Im going to attempt something similar but almost a reverse of your dino idea where a decal will be used to cover fork and then cutting out areas to paint. if that makes sense. :) Great job!

Well you did good actually. The dinosaurs are simple and so is the fade and it all kind of works. I really like that shade of purple, at least how it looks on my monitor. Was the white base coat a primer or just regular paint? Because if it's a primer then it should help the other coats stick. Your obviously artistic because even with doing everything unprofessionally it came out looking good. Now for the finishing clear coat, clear gloss pearl or mat finish?

You are your own worst critic, nice work.

looks Great 👍👊...
