Would you give your bike a custom paint job? 👇

@asquare9316 2 года назад

I already have 4 bikes with custom paint jobs, but had them done professionally. Yours looks awesome. I am thinking of doing something with a Banshee Rune V2 I recently bought used. I like the bare aluminum look these days, so might do that. The blasting tip was spot on. Thanks!!

@cedrikotep1048 2 года назад

I'm in the process of gathering everything nicely to repaint one or two frames soon (a vintage road and a Stoic2), I'm quite scared because it's really not my thing but your video reassures me a little, thank you !

@daggsusa 2 года назад

Bought an ebike Stripped it down, squirted it with black matte Tremclad and a year later it looks like it did after day 1. Not the paint of choice for most but what I had on hand. No priming, no sanding or wet sanding in between. I did it outside in the sun in a 10x10 screen tent so there wouldn't be any dust or debris stick to the paint while it was drying. 6 very thin and even coats over 2 days and it looks amazing. I'd do it again. Had a blast doing it myself, so I am bias but think it is a good way to do it if you are a true amature like myself.

@user-rc9ff5gc8i 2 года назад

Supply issues mean my fork came in shiny black and it should be matte to match the frame. It seams like a pretty basic job with a buffing and a respray but any pointers would be great. Love a good alloy hardtail. Wish my body would let me ride them. Thanks

@Todd66 2 года назад

I have done a pretty good amount of spray painting and I can tell you the #1 most important part of any paint job is preparation. Be obsessive while prepping and if you have done your homework on which paint to use and how to apply it….you will be SO happy you did it yourself. Very satisfying. Since bikes are outside so much, I would use a 2K clear that is automotive grade. It will resist UV fading. Never paint without a respirator and in a well ventilated place. Painting over paint, you need to use a primer, bare metal use a etching primer. If you have never painted before, paint something else first to get the feel for it. Temperature is critical for dry time, read the can. I soak my cans in hot water 15min before I paint and I don’t set them on concrete in between coats it will suck the heat from the can. If you make a mistake, don’t sweat it. Let it dry and lightly LIGHTY sand that area and repaint it. Painting is very satisfying, but VERY time consuming. RU-vid has hours of how to paint videos. Get out there and paint! Lol

@jmj_designs 2 года назад

Nice one Rich, frame looks ‘legit’ 😉. What I love about the vid is you have perfectly captured what DIY painting should be… FUN 😁. It’s all about grabbing an old frame (normally) getting creative and having fun. I particularly love it when your taking the stencils off…. All the emotions of a painter right there! It’s the moment you get to find out if all the work has payed off and also the moment when you can so easily give yourself a whole load more work if you mess it up! Great job mate 👍

@elrictdb 2 года назад

Excellent video guys, keep em coming! I too have dabbled in painting bikes, but really suck at using rattle cans, even when trying extremely thin layers and multiple layers and have ended up mostly using brushes and cheap tins of paint from low end hardware type stores (£2-£5 tins from b&m for example) and an inordinate amount of wet sanding sanding between inordinate number of coats. Which is why I was surprised that this vid didn't talk at all about sanding between coats (I assume there was none) and whether the drying time was a) Followed and b) Adjusted for the lower temperatures than most rattle can manufacturers recommend, that the UK so blesses us with. But it has inspired me to try again with rattle cans when it's a little warmer. I have a 2017 cube aim pro frame in orange where it's been sat in strong sun (before I bought it) and faded most of the colour to acid yellow unevenly along the frame. But, I'm waiting til it's a little warmer, the highlands of Scotland ain't often forgiving...for more than 5 minutes at a time. Number 1 priority this time will be a better keying.

The best paint is no paint. Raw aluminium finish is beautiful, doesn't chip, and can easily be "refreshed" if needed.

@gmbn 2 года назад

Raw frames are so good looking! 👍

@carlstanton2550 2 года назад

I agree,raw aluminium looks simple yet classy."raw" carbon looks good too, just a clear coat so you can still see the carbon weave underneath.

Nice one! I once gave a car the rattle-can treatment. I think it has about 5 coats of lacquer with a sanding to flat down between each one. It came up really shiny after mopping, and looked great.

I've painted (twice) my dad's first "mtb", a '92 Giant Rincon. Still going strong as the commuter bike, basically all modern components: 1x11 xt group, mavic tubeless wheelset, etc. Kinda want to paint it again with a simple pink, just to be different lol Splatters look dope! Might be spraying a little closely to the frame. Personally, I did like 4 quite light coats of each color that I was using, and a last heavier coat. Gives a better glossy finish in my experience. (yes, clear coat will help that a lot too)

@trishaleaver3581 9 месяцев назад

2k clear is a must if you want it to be like a factory finish. 2k has a hardener in it. Otherwise the paint job will never last. I’ve done many bikes and most people think it factory paint even after years of use. I also use a 2k epoxy primer on any bare metal.

Bikes are pretty easy to take apart with the right tools ,alternatively you can mask up with heavy plastic and prep it fully assembled ,although some areas won't be accessible ,maybe a bit sand paper glued to a knife mite work for these areas ,Been a painter for 20 years ,the process is the same ,strip ,sand, filll ,sand again clean ,degrease x2 primer coats ,2-3 top coats ,2 coats clear (matting agents available) 2k paint is best for durability ,gun paint is also worth a look for silvers and matts

@nicholasmyers6808 2 года назад

I painted a bmx frame red a couple years ago. And when I applied the clear coat it crackled the red. I would sand it down and try again a number of times. I tried research it about the other thing I could find was I wasn’t allowing the red tick cure but even when I waited like 2 1/2 weeks it’s still crackled it. I finally just put the red on and abandon the clearcoat, I was beyond frustrated and pissed off at that point. I’m still not sure why it did it like every time.

I have been considering this for my frame. But must admit that dismantling the entire bike makes me nervous. It does need doing though because it's a low end bike and I'm in the process of upgrading it with budget, but good (ish) parts. A new paint job would get rid of garish orange and crap decals which would be good! But then I worry I'm spending money I don't really have on a cheap bike. It is mechanically sound and in great condition though, plus it was a bargain, so, I dunno. Too many variables to consider 😔

@gmbn 2 года назад

Hi! It can be really cool to give your bike a new splash of paint but, it's not essential. There are cheaper ways of customising the look of your bike like buying new decals! The fact that it runs nicely is the important thing! 👍

@mrmurder75 2 года назад

@@gmbn This is true. I did have a crack at getting a logo off of the chain stay with a view to just going with solid orange all over, but I was too heavy handed so went through to bare metal, so that bit looks crap now! It's hard to know which decals would fit my frame though, are they generic shapes and sizes for a generic hardtail frame or...?! Again, troublesome variable's! 🤷😏
