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!!
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 !
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.
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
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. TH-cam has hours of how to paint videos. Get out there and paint! Lol
I think this applies to any job you're going to do, preparation is the key to success. The rest of the tips you have written though are spot on, great advice!
I always struggle with how thick to lay on the coats and how long to wait between coats, which usually, OK, always leads to a crappy result. Man I suck at painting.
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 👍
As a professional aircraft paint sprayer myself you've given me some really cool ideas I could do with my frame I have gravity fed spray guns and a place to do it I even have access to paint stripper now to settle on scheme and colour Nice job for first time round 👏 👍 👌
Should've removed the decals before the clearcoat..at least that is what I'd have done. I'd also would've used 2k clearcoat. But good job nonetheless 👍
They were. The first clear coat had a glitter finish which I didn’t want on the bare metal so after I’d applied that all over I then I removed the decals and gave it a plain clear coat so the metal didn’t have a sparkly finish.
No issues with assembly for me th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".
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)
Love the bike design th-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L and functionality. It is hard to align the front tired to center the disk brakes. The brake wheel touches the stationery side of the brake caliper and pad. I aired the tire up to 40 psi as the markings say 40-60psi. Left the house for a few hours and came back to an exploded innertube.All in all it seems to be a good bike. Have not ridden it yet though so that's the max of my knowledge. Update, put a new innertube made sure the tire was set properly and it did the same thing in under 20 minutes as second pic shows.
😂 Man… paint in the hands is no fun at all. I’ve painted a fair amount and you can def manage splatter without getting it on your hands. Also… drying outside, exposed isn’t the best since the paint can get dirt, hair, insects, etc stuck in it. Not fun if you have to fix it. Obviously a spray booth isn’t available fro everyone, but painting outside then moving into a garage is best.
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
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.
Painting my handle bars, and all goes well till the lacquer stage, the paint goes soft, after hours of dry its still soft. How do i get a clear tough final coat?
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 😔
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! 👍
@@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! 🤷😏
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. People laugh when I tell them, but the proof is in the photos! Watching this has got me thinking about an old frame in the garage...
Looks ok but I bet it'll chip off with a bit of trail abuse. I got mine powder coated and it's pretty bulletproof. Only cost £80 including them masking and stripping the old paint
Powder coating is not solid its just a plastic coatin it will damage n shatter if it takes a good hit n basically unfixable without redoing hole thing but so could paint i suppose
@@Rab_Cee well, I've tried both (not diy, both given to pros) and the powdercoated frame still looks mint while the sprayed frame didnt last. I'm sure, like many things, it has much to do with the skill of the applicator and the materials used.
You can get 2K clearcoat that's way more resilient than normal clearcoat. The 2K mixes when you want by a special valve on the bottom of the rattle can.
Long, steady strokes from 6-12in away, making sure you start and end off the surface you're applying paint to. Not like you see here LMAO. Not bad anyway.
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.
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.
#GMBN Hello and greetings from America! I was wondering if maybe there’s a chance for a video covering tips, things to look for and things to look out for when purchasing a used bicycle. With supply issues and the ever-rising cost of living, used bikes are a great option. Also, if #EMBN and #GCN could make a similar video, it would help even more people. Please and thank you. Love the channel!
Buy paint stripper for aluminium frames. you just brush on n paint falls off, save hours of sanding, or take it to powder coaters for a dip in ther stripping tank. Spray paint outside you better cover it or dust flies n other crap will stick to it
Would love to respray my giant fathom 2, but I have never painted a bike before and I am a bit scared incase it goes wrong, I would like some help with this please
I always get creative and spray my own frames I always have done you know it's unique then it's good to not have what everyone else has got and have something that people look at and ask where do I get a bike like yours and u say u can't 😆
I tried painting a bike with home Depot supplies... Needless to say it was a disaster and I didn't know what I was doing the fork, derailleur, chain, and crankset we're still on lol it was a city bike so I don't care we were going to scrap it anyway. His name was hobo bike. I used it while biking to school and jumping off things and doing stoppies until one of my spokes snapped lol
My frame was scratched chipped all over, so I stripped the paint and mirror polished it. Got it gleaming, then took it to the trails and scratched the funk out of it. Still looks awesome
That looks sick, maybe a tour of the bikes that Paul has painted for some inspiration and maybe some techniques to get cool patterns like your splatter or a fade etc.
Seth of Berm peek Express is my Inspiration of Painting my old bike. He posted a bike Paint Tuitorial guide on how to paint old bikes,parts and accessories (detailed,informative, and well explained). All of his flip bike restoration come out so good and better. Its something that is missing from this content.
I was actually respraying my Demo8 frame this weekend. I basically followed this step by step without even knowing it. Ha! Your frame looks awesome. Hoping mine turns out looking as good.
Righty-dokey richie! What an awesome job. Would love to convert my current hardtail to a DJ/pumptrack bike once I upgrade to a proper bike. Got me inspired on doing a cool paint job on it. Don't know if I care enough, but at least now I know it would be possible. Thanks! Love to see the final build

Thanks for the advices!
Always like to read the comments on these videos. Lots of little details I wouldn’t think like setting the can on concrete.
Are you taking bookings my paint work is a little shabby mate 🤣👍🏾👀
Well done Rich. Can't wait to see the build.
Neither can we! It looks great already!
I want to see some pro mechanic ASMR Build please 🥺🥺🥺
I agree way better than when Henry did his raw look
Always thought about painting my bike 🤷♂️maybe it’s somthing I’ll do in the future
Watch the video, learn the tips & tricks and give it a go!! :)
@@gmbn sure will. Thanks guys!
Paint my bike. You should paint my bike. Its a picture of thousand sunsets
That's actually a pretty impressive paint job. I think this stands out as a "less is more" solution!
The best paint is no paint. Raw aluminium finish is beautiful, doesn't chip, and can easily be "refreshed" if needed.
Raw frames are so good looking! 👍
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.
So let me get this straight... you watched a video on how to repaint your bicycle but prefer it without paint? 🙄🙄😒
I do it on my HT too... Is a lot of work but the best feeling to ride you own unique color 🙌🏻
I always struggle with how thick to lay on the coats and how long to wait between coats, which usually, OK, always leads to a crappy result. Man I suck at painting.
Rich has to grow out his Mustache now to match the bike. It looks sick though

13:40 next door’s conservatory windows getting some overspray
You should put some Rockshox Pike forks on it in silver - good job on the paint I wasn’t too sure about spray paint that looks well good 👍
That sounds like a great idea! 🔥

I just dabbled in vinyl wrap on my bike. Looks pretty good. I like the paint job though
Thanks for the great tutorial Rich! The bike looks great! Did you do any sort of sanding between coats?
Nice but does look like it needs a few more clear coats
Might fool a few but as a sprayer it wasn't good but for a 1st try you did OK also worth pointing out it will scratch very easily
Mud is paint
You're not wrong! 😂
where can you get a stitched 360 frame raw like no paint
That bike looks incredible! Amazing job, I think it looks sick mate
Great video. Could one do this to a carbon frame and what would be the difference in prep and paint?
Same thoughts, I have a matte black carbon frame and I'm not sure if I should follow the same prepping process.
Great video Rich!! Those are some great tips for beginners mate!! Even though I've never painted anything😅!!
Thanks dude 👊
That yellow Scotland frame in the shop with the saltire and lion looked DOPE!
Super nice Rich!
if your doing paint prep in the kitchen, I'd recommend making sure the misses is out of town for a couple days
that looks super crisp! Wonder how much different it would be for a carbon frame....
siccckkk'
That is sweet, I would do a charcoal gray with black and silver specs, but each is their own.
I love that when it came to the masking example and the tape example the gloves were off and the hands were on the frame 😂

Oh my god I've been waiting for this video for like 3 years
Painting my handle bars, and all goes well till the lacquer stage, the paint goes soft, after hours of dry its still soft. How do i get a clear tough final coat?
Note so self. If going to do alot of manual work, then at least make the final product not BUTT UGLY.
Danm I wanna try this
Could do with a light sand after the main coat to remove the orange peel in the paint.
Random dumb question… should I wet sand between applying color & clear coats?
Hello you can help me whit the code color for Scott scale 2021 matt grey?thanks!
I want to paint mine. Just don't have the balls!
Is that DanTDM?

Whatever you do don't look at my shit bikes paint, 😂😂😂😂
I have the same green toothbrush 🤣
Nice! 😂
Super cool but didnt you have to put some primer and base coat before the colour
The clear coat looks tacky, wasn’t fast enough and not enough layers
Pretty awesome Rich! want to see the whole build ! :O
Did you do an after and before weighing? That would be super interesting how much weight all the paint is!
In short, clean, prime, and use off the counter cans. Got it.

You can get 2K clearcoat that's way more resilient than normal clearcoat. The 2K mixes when you want by a special valve on the bottom of the rattle can.

Seth of Berm peek Express is my Inspiration of Painting my old bike. He posted a bike Paint Tuitorial guide on how to paint old bikes,parts and accessories (detailed,informative, and well explained). All of his flip bike restoration come out so good and better. Its something that is missing from this content.
I was actually respraying my Demo8 frame this weekend. I basically followed this step by step without even knowing it. Ha! Your frame looks awesome. Hoping mine turns out looking as good.
Thanks very much!! I am waiting for my used frame that I just buy. So I am going to paint it my self. Great video, LOVE that FINISH!!!
Wish I saw this a week earlier I painted my bike and it was ok but this would have helped me
Righty-dokey richie! What an awesome job. Would love to convert my current hardtail to a DJ/pumptrack bike once I upgrade to a proper bike. Got me inspired on doing a cool paint job on it. Don't know if I care enough, but at least now I know it would be possible. Thanks! Love to see the final build
Get the BB faced for a perfect fit.
For a can spray your bike looks really good. Thanks for the ideas.
