In this video: A follow up to my first review video. I've learnt a bit and here's how I've made the paint work for me!

Tip - Heat your spray cans in warm water before starting to spray, keep shaking between sprays & replace cans in warm water when you put them down if you are going to spray with them again.

I have tried thier paint myself and would say I'm not a fan. The dark colors are not bad but the lighter and Brighter colors leave such a textured finish. I've sprayed close and normally and even contacted spraybike about the issues . They reccomend to smooth out the dusty finish with wax/parchment paper . I tried that but still had poor results. With a bicycle frame there are always areas that are tight and hard to spray . In these areas I've found that it will always end up with that textured/dusty finish. Due to that reason and the quality results I expect for any personal or customers bike I just discontinued offering or using their product. Cost wise it was not much different than buying a mini spray gun this also allows an unlimited amount of color choices and as long as you finish with a good 2-part clear coat I haven't seen much of a durability issue. But in the end it's all up to the user and what they are happy with.

3 months rain and salty roads and the paint is fade away. Is gone. (Downtube)

I'd rather be careful with normal rattle cans. Just pay attention to what you're doing and you should be fine.

This definitely seems to be a case of mastering the technique. It does look better than your first attempt. You have also gained knowledge about how to use each particular colour and paint, thanks for sharing and passing on the knowledge. This is good work and a great finish.

Other youtuber oldshovel uses these paints and those projects look ok until you get close and .... not so good

[@peterharrer3261]

Great paint job. A sign of how sophisticated you've become. And instead of talking about technique like another bike restorer, you got in close and put it on display. Even showed what happens if you spray too slow, plus the troubles with SdotB's zinc primer and discussed the pressure differences in cans. Valuable. I learned from this.

[@jp93309]

Yeah never been impressed with the powdery mess of spray.bike’s lighter colors. Spraying close as indicated also forces you to use/buy more cans. And they’re not cheap. Probably going with a powdercoater next time.

I must have missed the story on this Nashbar frame! I have an aluminum cross frame they were selling back in 2011, got it brand new on sale for $74USD. It's held up shockingly well; I've toured on it, raced cyclocross on it, and now it's my gravel bike clearing 700x43 gravelkings like it's no big deal. I always love seeing something of suprising quality where nobody would have expected it.

Hi mate, sorry to ask this in the comments but I’ve just got hold of a 92 Raleigh Ravine. I’m looking at getting it resprayed and also live in the same area as yourself. Who would you recommend locally? I’m struggling to find decals for it too… any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Rich.

Going to be spraying a beater bike in the coming months and revisited this to help guide what Ill end up using. Thanks for the detailed videos!

[@Ricobass0]

[@katerine1688]

gracias !!!

[@tecdesigns8183]

Great video and advice. I always seem to think spraydot never seems to come out as smooth or shiny as standard paints with 2k clear.
