This is one of the more realistic videos out there when it comes to removing the paint. Its harder than most other videos make it seem. I have stripped a few frames myself and they all took multiple applications of paint stripper along with other methods. Good job though! A proper restoration.
quick question to anyone that can help me so I just sanded and painted a bmx frame I used krylon true blue paint and primer and triple thick clear glaze let it hang for like 3 days and thought it was good to take down but apparently a little to soon so I put it in the front seat of a car on a sheet and it kinda imprinted on the bottom of rear dropouts and bottom of head tube other than that looks great the question is can I buff that out at least the head tube bc it’s pretty noticeable or should I just say f!*k it and deal with it lol
From my experience, spray paint cannot be polished effectively. Its too soft and you normally burn through the paint. I like to let mine air dry for 2 full days before I handle it to be safe. I have done the exact same thing you have before so I feel your pain lol
It can be really tough for some frames. BMXmuseum.com is a great source, also join some of the Facebook BMX pages and ask other members. Lots of knowledgable people in those groups. For older frames join the mid school box pages, and ion its really old join the vintage box pages. I had pretty good luck there. Also type the serial number and BMX frame into google, sometimes you get lucky and find someone else on some forum who identified that same frame. Good Luck!
I basically just did the same exact thing with an elite BMX frame I took it down to bare metal but use a quick strip it's an aerosol can it's not as tedious as brushing it on you spray it on and it wipes right clean straight down to bare metal no problem I then also shot it with a two-part epoxy primer and then shot it with a base coat of voodoo blue Toyota I had it mixed up custom for this bike I did four coats of base coat and then I used four coats of clear coat but it was a 2K 2-part clear coat all of it automotive grade really an Overkill but turned out fabulous
Dupli has quite a few "blue" options and I want to confirm this was the Ford Blue Engine Enamel (SKU: DE1601) that you used. Great job and thanks again !!!
Apparently Sam blasting the best I need is a sandblaster and a compressor and buy some sand and I think you can recycle the sand as well and a sandbox there’s not much like 100 bucks 150 bucks how about 50 bucks a tub of sand he could probably get it cheaper
Those cheaper sandblast tanks aren't big enough to fit the whole box frame from what I saw. I checked harbor freight and online. But yes you are correct sandblasting is by far the most effective way to prep the frame.
Thanks for the vid. I just wanted to take the design and original paint off of my frame. I didn't like it to much but the bike and frame itself was pretty good, and it was on sale.
@@B-Sauce thanks for the reply most definitely will check it out and for the clear even tho it’s the same brand does it matter what one it is I know I’ve seen 2 for the Dupli brand
Do you need to sand the primer and the paint after each layer until you reach the final paint layer? I've seen some people sanding even the final layer before they put the finisher on. thanks for the video it was a good watch
hey do you got any good tips for cleaning the rust off the brake mounts? on the frame im restoring there pretty rusty. Was thinking about hitting them with a fine sand paper
Yes try a bath of Oxalic Acid and water in a big plastic tub, leave it overnight then rinse. Best method I have found so far. Lots of TH-cam videos on it.
Its a $100-$150 frame tops. Powder coating is $250+ where I live. Not many pother options unless I want to drive a few hours so not worth this frame. My next restoration is a 1997 Standard STA500 and that one will be done proper with power coating.

Use a propane torch and a wire brush. Much faster than a wire wheel
what color code?
sorry I don't have the cans anymore to check. I think it was a Ford engine block blue though.
Nice work. Thanks for sharing !
They make it in a spray and it falls off.

Aircraft pain remover works well.
Where could I find out what Bmx frame I have with a serial number ?

Good job! Can you tell me again who your decals for the bicycle
I found the images on google and had FedEx print the stickers.
Thanks 🙏🏽
Love your work. Would have done the same process strip, acid tube. Neutralise and dry, with thinners to clean, and then primer. To full job.👍
nice work:) liked the diy spray booth and results looked great!!!

Super clean, powder coat level

Please gift me one for my son for his birthday he wants one and I can't a fort a new bike
Hahahahahaha
What color spray paint is that
I think it was Ford blue
Can any dupli color work ? i got a Fit frame I wanna hit with some old school ruby red
Yes as long as you buy the matching brand clear coat. Some clear coats will bubble when mixed with different brands.

You can. If you want it to look showroom quality then a light sanding between primer coats helps make the final coat of paint very smooth.

Pretty sure it’s a mongoose there’s a few mongooses of that shape it could be in Minnis
he didnt build it😮😮
Correct. I just restored the paint.
Did you sand down the primer ?
Has the paint scratched off easy
can you give me one frame for my own bike
Dope content 🔥
Great job!
Back the Blue.
Can you just sand the existing paint without going through the chemical process?
Depends on the condition of the existing paint. You can do it that way for sure. I just enjoy stripping to bare metal.
@@B-Sauce the bike is brand new, I just want to paint it a different color. Thank you for the reply!
Excellent
Nice one! 😀👍
Do u have video the raliegh
No I forgot to make a video for that one. Its now painted a cool blue color and I plan on selling it very soon.
All that work should just powder coat or Chrome it.
Its a $100-$150 frame tops. Powder coating is $250+ where I live. Not many pother options unless I want to drive a few hours so not worth this frame. My next restoration is a 1997 Standard STA500 and that one will be done proper with power coating.
I have a icon 2007 nice paint work , just few scratches here and there on mine still ride it
