Get woken up early and have a great video to watch with my morning coffee. Nothing more relaxing on a Sunday morning. I have a State 4130 Gear and it's been a great bike, even used it on P2A and worked great in the mud with 32mm GKs, only issue was the mud LOL. Congrats to whoever gets a great cruiser.
Tip two if you get those little plastic spray handles for the spray cans you will flow so much better and get much even paint lines I know it's just a bike but I've done flat surfaces with cans made it look professional
Hi. Just a noob question. How long it needs to dry between coats of paint? Thanks for the great content and your approach to cycling is inspiring to me. Greetings from Portugal and all the best for you.
Great build and paint up. Could you share the parts you added? I have a couple of these State klunkers and want to update the bb and chainring on. I tried to find your A-team build but haven't dug deep enough.
Paint looks great, but I think the updated crank, pedals, and chainring go just as far in changing the look. Even with the original olive frame and black fork, they would give it a whole new vibe for not much money. Some black IFX cranks/chainring and some platform pedals from Amazon could really update the look for $50
“One thing I will say as a public service announcement before moving on to the subject of this paper is that if you ARE going to try that, cover your eyes and the rest of your head, too. The younger guy who is doing the initial painting just uses a respirator, but no goggles or hood. So his eyes and the rest of his head are out in the breeze, and out in the paint. Not good. The older guy who does the final coat has his eyes covered as well as his nose and mouth, but the rest of his head is still getting clearcoated with the bike (minute 13). Also not good. I can't believe these guys haven't figured that out by now. You have to fully cover all skin, and a loose hoodie won't do it either. The spray is a gas so it is going to penetrate everywhere air can reach, including into the hoodie. The hoodie will help a bit, but it isn't real protection from a gas, obviously. I have seen a similar mistake by the guy at MyMechanics, whose videos are very interesting, by the way. He is also sloppy covering up for painting. He will regret it someday “
I really really want to love Spray(dot)Bike products because I have a whole shed full of old bikes that need TLC and some that I'd love to respray, but I can't get past the fact that it's a can-based powder coat that doesn't get baked on. Just seems like a longevity/durability problem down the road, but I'd love to be wrong.
I get it. It is not a long lasting paint on its own but it is super easy and consistent to use for making colorful paint jobs and needs just one core to cover well. This is why I started using a 2k clear coat over top. With 3+ coats of clear over top it I is a lot more durable.
@@oldshovelI’m taking a 60s Schwinn Typhoon down to bare metal and do a wild paint job. Make it a beach cruiser coaster. I can baby the paint on a cruiser. Lots of rust on the fenders(chrome)...might paint to match? I’ll probably air brush too, but spray bomb for high light colors... last job I did the 2k clear lifts very easy... still I like making it “mine” 🙂👍 ...considered powder coating base?
Klunkers! More more!

A very cool job.
I already missed your paint jobs...
Bavo !
Amazing paint job! Really thinking about getting into painting because of your videos.
Great to see a paint job. Very cool boke.
We need another hardtail party video with both of yall.
My OCD can't handle the black cranks but my knees like the smaller chainring. Great paint job 👍
El bolso para las latas muy genial, excelente trabajo artesanal. Felicitaciones, hermoso color. Saludos desde Argentina
If you get this stuff called prepsall 220 and wipe it off with that and be ready for paint
Where can I get that beercan bag? Awsome bike!!!
Fishski designs
Whitebark gear
You got skillz!
It was a fun one to paint. 😁

With spray.bike paint colors it is 2 hours.
@@oldshovel Thanks. It sure looks like a top quality paint job with a rattle can. I will try to get it here in Europe .
Miss the paint job so much so happy to see this one
Woah that bike reminds me of the Kona AHAs
That is Kool
Alas I cannot enter from this side of the Atlantic.
Gorgeous Bike!

They should call that old shovel blue

such cool bike
great buiild!! I am so curious what handlebars those are I love those and would love to have them on my klunker
They are the standard bars on the State Klunker, but I don't see any branding on them on mine. 7" rise. I really like them.
What the other guy said but basically you have to buy the bike to get the bars they aren’t sold separately sadly.
I want to win this beautiful bike but, I can't enter with any of the links because I don't have facebook/Instagram!
Never considered painting a bike before, much less handpainting one.
Couldn't be mine... because I'm in the wrong side of the planet😢

You still talk too much...
