- On a major time crunch, I try to strip, prime, color, and clear coat over my S-Works FSR XC Pro bike to make it look like a 2021 S-Works Epic. Here's the catch, I've never done it before and I don't have a spray gun.
I'm following multiple guides from the channel @ETOE , thanks for the inspiration Martin!

Bro same lol
Big facts
Too funny!
Looks great man! First time is always a learning experience (I've been there). If you do it again you'll cut your time in half I'm sure. Please look into the correct filters for your respirator. If you can smell the chemicals you have the wrong filter. Those look like basic p100 particulate filters and if so do not remove chemicals from the air you are breathing, only particulate like dust, mold spores etc. Any automotive paint supplier will have the right one for $20-$30 sold as a complete respirator assembly. I love the build. A lot of these old bikes are still super fun to ride and worth the time and money to fix up.
i hope he gets to see this comment, really important stuff, you only get 1 pair of lungs
Thanks Kent and Mik. I will get the correct respirator definitely. Those cheap pink ones are definitely not cutting it. Probably going to do another fork rebuild and paint job soon and will need those correct filters.
I think that its a charcoal filter that its called. Its a much denser filter

@@EvansMTBSaga Ideally when spraying you want to catch the remaining spray instead of it going into the air
omg this painting is worth!. it looks amazing.thanks for entertaining us evan!
I spray painted some cranks in 10 minutes yesterday, pretty much the same thing…hahahaha. Great job, I lack the patience and skill for any kind of paint work. $100 got my trek frame and cranks powder coated black. It wasn’t as smooth as I would have liked but it took care of a lot of the jacked up paint I had so I went for it. This paint job you just did makes my powder coated frame look like an elementary school art project.
That's still pretty awesome to know $100 gets you powder coating. I spray painted my bike lots as a kid with no prep or clear coat, just the color coat. I'd refer to the paint job as a "40ft job" - looks good from 40ft away!
@@EvansMTBSaga jaja
@@MTBAlex the “jaja” has a thing that says translate to English under it, and when you press it it translates to “eggs” 😂😂🤣
@@bentoth2494 lol, jaja means haha, eggs, lmfao
ETOE Would be happy of you, good paintjob man !
I had a segment where I mentioned I was following his video, but ended up cutting it to keep the flow of the video going. I was definitely following his guide! Glad we've both seen his stuff
@@EvansMTBSaga I've been watching him for a long time and according to him i even spray painted two frames and they turned out great :)
I literally was going to say the same thing. ETOE is the mad German genius! i think he'd approve
Great looking bike! Good paint work too. Just to note, the 2K paints used, you saying they are pretty toxic is an understatement. These paints are beyond toxic, so if you spray again, make sure that you have a one piece paint suit and a respirator that seals your eyes as well (at least). Clear coat in particular is incredibly potent. Please be safe!
Thanks for that! I will take even more precautions next time!
+ don't spray in your neighborhood, outside like that... Rent a spray booth or ask a local paint shop if you can use theirs for x time
What

Use the paint stripper , but then wrap it in Saran Wrap to keep in the moisture . Works like a charm
I did that multiple times but that stripper just wasn't strong enough to fully eat through all the paint.
That looks so good! Great work Evan!
Hell yeah! Looks so dope! Keep up the good work man!
Amazing, looks so good!!!
Etoe is proud
Regardless of the few blemishes its WAY better than before
You’re a great mtb TH-cam I found you earlier today can’t stop watching
I’d definitely wait extra for another video like this one. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic results
Totally worth it. Never feels better making your own work of art. Would like to watch you completely redo a mongoose ledge x1
Am I the only one who would ride this bike with the raw chrome look🔥
Looks super sick. Can't wait to see the build complete 🙌
That turned out fantastic
It looks great! I painted a bike for my girlfriend this year using rustolium aerosol cans. I wouldn't use them again just because its not a durable finish at all. With 4 layers of masking, I was pretty happy when I saw the final result
Nice choice of colour . Red can never go wrong
What a huge improvement. Nice job.
You spent probably more in painting supllies than it was worth, not counting the hours.
Worth every penny 🤘
I wish I had the time for a project like this...
Haha oh definitely. I also learned that I'm never going to paint a frame ever again. Way too hard! And all of that effort and the paint still chipped super easily from the chain
You're patience really paid off it looks fantastic
Looks absolutely mint, great work!
awsome, nice fork with the gold stanchions looks really nice, can't wait to see the full 'modernized' build
Wow! turned out beautifully! def worth the effort!!! 👍👍👍
wow! that looks amazing
Might’ve been tough but that color is sick. I love a triple black bike but that red is tempting.
It came out really sick!!
Looks brilliant
Painting bike frames is incredibly hard, lots of tough angles and nooks and crannies to get the paint into, all without letting it run. Looks fantastic! Good job on wearing all your PPE as well, even outside that stuff can be nasty when you're in close proximity
I have painted a few bikes and never did all the stuff you did or spent all that money. but it looks very good on Camera. thanks you have inspired me to up my game.
Heckk yeah good to hear it Nicholas!
The result looks brilliant!
Now I really want to see the bike all together. Looks awesome so far. Great job
This looks amazing.
that looks STUNNING!
Thanks Jack!!
Man that is awesome paint job. Congratulations on the 10k...
Thanks man! Cool new profile picture!
dang that paint job looks sick and congrats on 10K🎉
Nice work man! That metalcast red is such a nice color over a metallic silver.
Congrats on 10K! Well deserved and nicely done on that paint job
Looks amazing
it looks awesome mate. Yeah, worth it.
That spray max stuff is amazing. You can go pretty damn heavy with it
Well done, I see you masked and wet sanded and done it all correct. it turned out well.
Looks great!
Honestly looks super dope
One of the best diy paintjobs on youtube
Looks great and those old Stumpy's are amazing bikes. Old shovel does a lot of restorations, I don't think he peels off the old paint but it does take a long time. Well done.
Dude you did the right thing going all out on the paint, it looks fucking sick
First of all, that was EPIC!!! Secondly, congrats on 10K man!🔥🎉👍😎
Thanks guys. It's been a crazy few months for sure. Working on merch now!
From my experience and from what i've been told about 15 years ago on bmx message boards.. there is no better primer than a well prepped powdercoat. You did a great job, in all my years of seasonally respraying my bmx, i only used plain colors and metallic. Always wondered how these translucent colors would work out.
Next time, i'd say, put the first coats down a little lighter. It prevents chipping!
Looks so goooood!!
Fun video to watch and the bike came out so nice!
Evan! Great job. Time involved for an old bike like that may not be worth it on it's own merit but the experience gained? Yes.. Came out excellent . Great vid!!!
Wow just wow
Worth it!
Looks perfect!
happy 10k evan!
Thanks T800 for being one of the OG's and the huge support.
Wow, that looks amazing bro, it's on 🔥
Great looking paint job well worth it
Congrats on 10 000 subs!!!!
That looks way better!
Sweet! The bike frame looks great! You need a vapor canister cartridge with your respirator to protect you from the toxic fumes. I use to work for a chemical manufacturer and I also, do mask fits in my current job.
Oh sweet I will look into that. I have more episodes in my S Works series I hope you check them out. I just finished the project
don't worry about orange peel until after the final coat, once the final coat has cured give it a buff and that should smooth out the orange peel :)
100% worth it you should do more frame painting pretty good at it
Congrats on 10k 🥳
LOOKS GOOD!
Epic video 👏👏👏👏
The results look better than most of those Spray dot Bike jobs I see all over the Tubes. However, the total amount spent is crazy. Where I live, you can get a frame professionally powder coated for around $125.
I looked into Spray.bike but most of their stuff was sold out (and pricey). Can't beat picking up paint in person at Autozone. That's wild about the powdercoating, I need to check into that. $125 would be well worth it instead of the route I took haha.
Another quality video👍
That paintwork looks amazing! Congrats on 10000 subs!
Wow you did an amazing job!
Beautiful job
I stumbled onto your vids just yesterday, and am very interested in what you have produced because I want to revive my 2002 Haro XCR (monocoque Intense Tracer frame) with the parts that I originally used to build it up back at that time. It was only ridden fifteen times, so it's in nearly perfect condition. The components I build it up with were topnotch for the time. Even the wheelset is really nice, boasting (or maybe not) titanium spokes and pricey hubs (non disc compatible). I spent a fortune on the completed bike. It was the culmination of owning and riding seven to eight different mountain bikes, most of which I'd built up. This included alu and ti HTs, and a four different dualies--two of which were ti.
As of now, I am debating whether to build it back with the XTR/Grip shift and three chainring front setup original to the bike, or update it in the same way you did with your S-works dualie. But, I have a question for you: I still have the original Fox Float XC rear shock and the Manitou Xvert fork. I'd rather rebuild both, but I am also debating whether to simply buy and replace as you did. What would you do?
So that you at least have some context, I am getting old (61) and am picking up mountain biking again after a twenty year hiatus. I only do basic X-country here in the NW Ohio/SE Michigan area. Topography is pretty mild compared to Utah! Anyway, this Haro frame was GREAT for me, but I am noticing the improvements of newer designs so I am torn. I really don't want to spend $4K for a new bike, and I like this Haro. I'd like to get it going again for under $1K .
My other questions is: if I decide to rebuild the shocks, is this a service you would provide? I get the impression you have done work for some of your viewers.
Dig your vids. Thanks for putting your work and knowledge out there. I'd forgotten how great of a sport MTB'n is, and intend to get back fully into it next spring. Actually, I just bought a slightly used 2021 Trek Marlin 7 from a brother (he had to go to a M from this L), so I am already hitting the trails. But I am not much of a fan or HTs.
Dude that thing looks absolutely stunning someones I'm guessing you've been watching some etoe tutorials.
Also with being able to smell the fumes of the Bondo its possible you're not using the correct filters for your respirator or they could be worn out
Etoe is the man! So many people have commented about his channel on here. I had a segment talking about him but I cut it to make the video not run so long. My dad said the same thing about the respirator, definitely gotta get the proper filters.
@@EvansMTBSaga yeah I believe etoe does have a video on what respirator and filters to use. Either way you definitely did a super good job for your first try!
Sick paint job!
You finally commented haha! Thanks brother. I'm gonna drag you out mountain biking one day.
Happy 10k subs knew you would get there by the end of October
Man your new thumbnail is throwing me off! Thanks Eugene!
Great work Evan! I love it!!! Cheers from Germany :-)
looks sick i really like it
I think it looks really nice ! Not bad for your first time. Still something I need to get around to trying.
getting out amazing content as always.
Check back tomorrow another banger!
@@EvansMTBSaga will do man, looking forward to it!
That looks sick well done
Nice paint job. This is something I did almost yearly to my road bike back in the 1970s. Rattle can and sand paper. They didn't have the nice paints and fancy nozzles back then. It is a lot of work as you showed. May be cheaper to strip it, tape it, and take it to a body shop to paint.
You must've been styling then with a sweet paint job every year. I really wonder if the paint needs to be stripped completely for a good paint job. I should probably ask a body shop 😅
@@EvansMTBSaga It was never as nice as the one you did. That thing came out great. I only stripped the bike completely if I was changing the color. Otherwise, I would just sand it down (especially scratches, etc) and paint over it.
sweeet! gongrats on 10k evan!
Heckk yeah thanks Miata for being around so long.
Worth it
awesome job! congrats on 10k!!
Looks amazing. Seems like painting a bike is one of those things you do once then not again haha. I'd definitely love to restore an old retro bike. TH-cam channel Old Shovel does restores exclusively, he's got some amazing results. He swears by Spray.Bike paint. They've got tons of stuff.
Spray.Bike is awesome! I just repainted my Fuji Reveal 1.1 and it is easy to use!
I looked into that spray paint, but it's pretty pricey and also a lot of stuff was out of stock. So I went with stuff that could be easily found locally at Autozone, which was super nice to be able to pick up in person for once!
Was a reaction not orange peel, you have to leave spray cans extra long for the solvents to come out, so much material with a candy red, or bake them for 40 min at 70c between processes to make sure. Hope this helps for your next one, looks good
You should get a nishiki Colorado comp 27.5+, they can be tricky to find since dicks isn’t selling em anymore, but you can find them from $300-$750 and they retailed for $650. They have a 1x11 or 1x10(cont remember, been awhile since I’ve looked at em) 11-50t, and a tapered head tube, no dropper, Kenda tires come stock, and also pretty good geo
It look so dope very good work
I did a bike similar with the duplicolor Metalcast anodized orange to a black fade. I found the pigment would pool the heaviest in the welds and braze-ons. Found it miserable to work with. I did it over bare aluminum. Mistake. Says it can go over bare metal. Don't. It chips easily even with 2K gloss clear topcoat. Spraymax is a great product.
Oh nice a fade! I noticed slight pooling in the welds but I kinda liked the look. I hope there is no chipping especially with all the prep and primer that I did!
Ha, nice... I used that red over a gold and metallic brown base, giving me a candy apple red
I love your work bro😘😘😍😍
9:10 - the problem is no paint shop will apply your logos. They will prime, apply silver, you have to take it, add decals, bring it back, they apply red, you have to take it, remove decals, bring it back, they apply clear. You will be facing $300 and driving back and forth. But I agree, painting frames right at home is super annoying and takes forever
No, but you've done a great job for spray cans. Always worth while trying something yourself.
Thanks Robert! I appreciate it
Hey, no need to put time limits for the videos. We are ok for a vid to be late a few days if its going to be good and you enjoy making it
Thanks for that! It can be pretty stressful sometimes so it's good to hear you say that.
Nice job
Love that bike and paint job. Maybe when my specialized fsr xc gets chipped and scratched I will have to try to paint it. That red is amazing. Anyway great video. I liked and subscribe.
Oh man another fellow owner. How does yours ride? I've put a ton of work into this bike and literally haven't pedaled it or even sat on the seat!! hahah
The rain was nice for me. I had a race this weekend at white tanks
Oh dang I didn't hear about that race. Was it one of those endurance races?
Nah just a 10 miler xc race hosted by Aca
