Martin, awesome video as always! Question: what was the original color of the steel painted tube? Will the Montana Caribbean on a black primer give me that finish?

One of the most helpful paint job videos on TH-cam. A lot of great methods and tips shown! Now I learned that matt coat is thinner then clear coat so it's best to do the matt after sanding the clear with vinyl attached. Thanks so much for spreading your knowledge!
Thanks Martin for this video, one of your best definitely ! Because of your videos, I bought 3 days ago everything to do a diy paint job on my old bike with 2k primer, 2k clear coats (mat and glossy) and 2 colors. Now I will be back here in 1 year when I'm done with the sanding the frame :)
😂 funny...but seriously. 😐 At least heres someone rooted in reality. 90% of painting is the prep work. Or else its a lot of money and time for nothin. Im curious to see how that came out.
Martin, I just wanted to say how much I've been learning from your entertaining and informative videos. I've painted a few bikes with mixed results (well, poor actually) but I can see many mistakes that I made and can't wait to try out some new techniques.
This was so motivational!! I have a number of older bikes but never dared to even consider repainting them until I stumbled across this video. Thank you!
Watching these really makes me want to paint my helmet color shifting gold and black. I'll have to pick up another helmet to test and practice!!! Great tutorial! I've learned more here about painting than I have in industrial design school
Very nice detailed video of how to do it! But the great key to having an amazing paint job is that you need a dust free room. Otherwise you will see it when you apply any sort of glossy finish on top
Great job! Should I wet sand and buff after I spray the color? I finally got a smooth coat of black on my stem. Before I use the 2K clear do I wet sand ?
Yes Baby must have gone through your head.... god knows how many times..... such perfection.... i 💌 it for a spray job..... such admiration and inspiration..... teach me please

Hello Martin. I have sand blasted crmo steel frame. I want to go crystal white finish with clearcoat. Should I prime with red baresteel primer? Or add another layer of white/grey primer? Thank you for your advice. Brilliant videos. Keep up. Thanx
When painting a bike (carbon frame with 2k primer) I need to sand after the primer. Do I need to sand again after applying the base coating? Or is it enough for a high quality paintjob to sand the primer and then sand again in between the clear coating steps?
That actually is some really in-depth high quality how to. I’ve just ordered a cube bike and don’t know if I’ll be keeping the colors. Looks like a fun winter project. Also thx for the European links. Cheers. 🙂
After you wet sand each time, do you clean the frames just with water or alcohol? If i cleaned with acetone during layers would it effect the fresh paint?
Well done videos man.!!! You are awesome. I am wanting to do my wheels and spokes matte black. In your opinion what paint would give the best matte finish?
Man I totally love your video. Please make a video about how to sand pain in the ass areas, such as joints, bolt holes etc etc. Do you have an easy solution for them?
If I wanted a matte clear coat on the frame (no base color, I want the natural carbon to show) with gloss logos, would I use the same method as your “more advanced method?”
I have aluminium frame with few visible paint chip. My question is after sanding should i use metal primer or epoxy primer? 2nd questtion is can i use paint remover for faster option?
Martin, really appreciate your videos and the links with each. I have a carbon Rocky Mountain frame that I want to sand down, 2x primer, and color gloss black then 2x matte/satin clear like in the video. I have experience painting solid colors on bikes and feel like I can take it this far from your videos. Issue is that I want to paint on letters and some accents over the matte clear but have them show as gloss. Assume that I mask, then spray on the color for this but then spray 2x gloss maybe one coat before removing decals? Concern is will the lettering be too high with 1x color and 1x gloss clear. Thanks!
Hey! What great tutorials!! I really love your feed. Just have one question for you. I’ve worked with vinyl for quite some time and was just wondering why you are working with masking tape and/or clear packing tape instead of transfer tape? I found that regular transfer tape works better with vinyl. It is easier to remove after application than other types of tape and have less changes to tear the vinyl.
Thx for the great videos! Question, if I use 800 grit sandpaper to prep a painted bike for new paint will using the same grit before I put the clearcoat on scratch the paint I just put on?
I was thinking of spray frame black and then fog it with gold about 18" away! do you think it would work? or wrap frame with fishnet hose and spray gold.
You do have the skills to paint a bike, you just need confidence to try! Practice with some rattle cans on old bits of metal to develop the skills until you feel confident enough to paint your bike!

Would it be enough to just paint the spots where i want the glossy finish with gloss clear coat or do i have to paint and then sand down the entire frame before applying the matt clear coat?
The machine called plotter and they come togetherwith a pc software with! Yes you only need to buy a plotter to make your own stencils , lettering decals

Im curious to see how that came out.
OMG is this for REAL ?!?! I've been digging down the pits of old message boards, trying to pieces together all this information.
Thanks for much !!!!
This guy is a genius painter. Every detail. Also very relaxing to watch. Afraid to ruin my frame but may go for it after watching this.

This is my new favourite channel! So much detail explained. Exactly the sort of tutorials I want to see before attempting my frame project.
Wow! Really impressive! You are like the Bob Ross of frame painting!
Wow, well done on that Matt finish on the gloss
Very nice detailed video of how to do it! But the great key to having an amazing paint job is that you need a dust free room. Otherwise you will see it when you apply any sort of glossy finish on top

Thank you so much for this video. It will be one of the guides for me to paint my bike.
🙏🏼💗🙇🏻♂
I’m currently pimping an old BMX, this was hugely helpful! Subscribed!
questions.....do you wet sand after each clear coat or just on the final one? ....thanks steve
Yes Baby must have gone through your head.... god knows how many times..... such perfection.... i 💌 it for a spray job..... such admiration and inspiration..... teach me please
Great energy, great work. Wunderbar!!
Great vid Martin, thanks for the indepth process description.
this was very informative, you deserve more likes
Hi Martin, Your englisch is so fluent that makes you nobody after!
Regards Arne Bollensen .😀😀😀👌👍😎
How I love the way you explain things you do. Very clear. Like to learn from you
Martin, after the 3 primer coats, color coat and 800 sanding, what do you clean the surface with post sanding to prepare for gloss?

You do beautiful work. I think I’m going to try this on my new Roadlite 7.
Another great video martin! keep up the great work.
Were you sanding down the vinyl as well to make it as smooth as the metal surface so you wouldn't feel it?
The Montana clear is mainly UV protection? Would the 2k clear bond well to the Montana for better rockchip protection or is the Montana sufficient?
I’m definitely going to be painting some tubes. I have tons of scrap tube to practice with
Hello. How about stainless steel? the paint will stick? Thank you.
That actually is some really in-depth high quality how to. I’ve just ordered a cube bike and don’t know if I’ll be keeping the colors. Looks like a fun winter project. Also thx for the European links. Cheers. 🙂
Glad I've found your channel. I just want to paint EVERYTHING after watching your videos 🤣🤣 cant wait to paint my first frame
After you wet sand each time, do you clean the frames just with water or alcohol?

What a great fucking video brother!! Absolutely love it. Very relaxing music, really good detail and info, combined with your unique style. Thanks 🙏🏼
Great video! Do I need to paint the whole bike with a glossy clear coat, or just the areas where i will apply the stickers?
Thanks so much for doing that great vid, after I asked for it in the comments of your previous video. You're a fine man!
Hello Martin, i have a question what is the brand name of your signwriter printer and cutter you use' thanks great videos.
I am using the same respirator mask as you do. Which filters do you use on it for spraying? I've been wondering for a long time....
Martin you put also 3 layers of primer on painted aluminium tube?
Love the video! It’s cool to just watch you do something you enjoy.
If I wanted a matte clear coat on the frame (no base color, I want the natural carbon to show) with gloss logos, would I use the same method as your “more advanced method?”
No you need clear carbon primer. Clear coat will not stick on carbon.
@@ETOE thank you for the reply! I found it in your links on this video. Your other video did not list the clear matte primer. Thanks!
Yeah top creativity & great finishes
I love the way you explain stuff you be real specific thanks
Is there a video of the frame in the thumbnail/screenshot being painted?
this video answers my thoughts, thank you 👍
Love the techniques and great tunes too.
Quick question.... Is it not necessary to wet sand after spraying primer?
Or is it just a spray can thing?
Great video. I also recommend having a shop sandblast the metal parts of the bike. It costs about $50 and saves me hours.
Je maakt fantastische you tube filmpjes 😄👍
Thanks for video. Can you tell me how long between the colour coat and 2k clear coat please?
15 minutes.
@ thank you
I have aluminium frame with few visible paint chip. My question is after sanding should i use metal primer or epoxy primer? 2nd questtion is can i use paint remover for faster option?
man! ur playlist damn good! u got a great taste
I just bought a Nukeproof scout & I want to clear cote it. You have a few different links in description & I don't know which to get🤷

Can I use 3 coats of gloss clear coat then use the matte one at the end?
Can i ask if i can copy other bike brand?
Thanks for your answers 😀
thank you for your videos, it's very usefull, i'm gonna try this black mat and gloss and with your tuto i feel able to do this
I see you used montana paint, have you ever used Krylon to paint a bike?
What if it's painted and there's some rust where the paint chipped? What do you use?
Hey! What great tutorials!! I really love your feed. Just have one question for you. I’ve worked with vinyl for quite some time and was just wondering why you are working with masking tape and/or clear packing tape instead of transfer tape? I found that regular transfer tape works better with vinyl. It is easier to remove after application than other types of tape and have less changes to tear the vinyl.
Cause I have reasons.
I really appreciate your efforts efforts sir, thankyou so much❤️🥰
Thx for the great videos!
Question, if I use 800 grit sandpaper to prep a painted bike for new paint will using the same grit before I put the clearcoat on scratch the paint I just put on?
Yes you can!
Hi, i love that color😊, how much cost for that?
When you say curing, are you curing in a high temperature environment since you have a booth or just letting dry for 20min?
Came for the paint tips...stayed for the music 👌🏾
I was thinking of spray frame black and then fog it with gold about 18" away! do you think it would work? or wrap frame with fishnet hose and spray gold.
I wish I had the skills to paint my bike like that. Amazing work bro, all three are dope. Thank you, Sir ETOE the III, Son of Earl!
You do have the skills to paint a bike, you just need confidence to try! Practice with some rattle cans on old bits of metal to develop the skills until you feel confident enough to paint your bike!
Martin are you using rubbing alcohol after every sand?
no I use this one: amzn.to/3DTNV9c

Such an interesting video, lots of useful and advised advices
Many thanks
How you get the stickers? You print them in the foil?
Same question please...
Is there a spray can primer for carbon fiber bike frames? Would you just use epoxy primer or is there something else you recommend? Thanks
There is no spray can primer for carbon.
How do you prepare the stencils/masks for complicated designs?
Would it be enough to just paint the spots where i want the glossy finish with gloss clear coat or do i have to paint and then sand down the entire frame before applying the matt clear coat?
Martin I have a black matte finish and I would like to get satin finish ... Can you do that without painting it? Any recommendations, Thanks
Hello from Brazil, you job is amazing.
you are such a good painter
Can you use PVC pipe for paint tests? Cheap and eazy to cut.
Polyvinyl chloride is super hard to paint. Def. nothing for neewbs.
@ thank you
For painted steel, if there are different colours will that still work or do you need to sand it down to bare metal in that case?
Yes.
Increible! Thanks for sharing this content mate!
What machine/program cuts out the lettering? Very nice work.
The machine called plotter and they come togetherwith a pc software with! Yes you only need to buy a plotter to make your own stencils , lettering decals
i was curious if it was okay to paint over decals with a clear coat (3 layers?) for final product without removing decals?
I don't use decals. Best is to ask somebody who uses decals.
Ater you 800 wet sand the lacquer with the decals still on, do you wipe down again with alcohol before final clear coat?
no
