When I get bored. Weather has been crappy and I've been sick so I wanted to see what a new color would look like.
I thought this was going to be a lesson about what happens when you fvck a stranger in the ass..........Larry.I guess this is what happens....
Have you ever seen the edited version?I thought this was going to be a lesson about what happens when you fvck a stranger in the ass..........Larry.
Too few corvettes in this version.
I got steel wool, ultra course or extra course, whatever it's called. I stripped my frame and took that stuff and scrubbed the hell out of my paint. You don't really need to scrub it raw, just rough it up really well. My black paint almost looked grey when I was done. Then I used one single can of PaintersChoice spray paint. I would do a coat and let it dry. About 4 coats(ish) and then let it dry over night.The color is my style so i dig it, oh and by the way I was wondering how you painted it, because I'm unsure how to do it proply myself.
You would be surprised how well spray paint will hold up. If you do it right, it will look really good. Especially if you clearcoat it.I like the offbeat color. Black and grey are getting old. Put some lime green accessories on there and have a joker bike.
Of course, the spray paint won't last. Powder coat is the way to go for bike frames.
Yeah, I had some scraped up rusty crank arms and I sanded them down some, sprayed them with a a coat or two of filler primer, let that dry over night, then did two or three coats of black autobody paint and let that dry a couple of days before reinstalling. The paint has lasted really well especially considering how much shoe rub they get. I was very surprised, I figured it would rub right off.You would be surprised how well spray paint will hold up. If you do it right, it will look really good. Especially if you clearcoat it.
MUST SPREAD REP....I thought this was going to be a lesson about what happens when you fvck a stranger in the ass..........Larry.

I didn't actually do that, nor have I ever. I just assumed that letting it dry completly would work well. Thanks for the advice, I'm about to do my race frame here in a few days.If you want your frame to last and plan on clearing it, dont wait overnight. The chemicals in the paint almost "blend" together which makes the paint much much stronger. Leaving it overnight isn't nearly as effective.
Holy moly, avocado green or harvest gold anyone?Hey guys - another tid bit of insight.
If you don't mind plain colors like White or Black or Grey - you can get Appliance paint in a spray can.
We've done a few frames now in Appliance white. The cool thing is the paint dries to a very hard white finish just like the finish on your washer and dryer. It is very resistant to rubbing off, chipping, etc. etc. and dries to a nice shiny finish.
Again though your color options are limited but... I like white and black bikes so its all good.

I am not sure why but when I was working on a jeep a while back the guy at the auto parts store told me NOT to use rustoleum paint if I was goint to paint over it later with good paint cause it wouldn't bond well!That could actually be sweet!! I've always wanted to find a junker frame and paint it with some of that "rostollem" textured paint, then paint a BRIGHT color overtop. It would catch some eyes and be something no one else would have
I have a feeling it wouldnt look good in the end but it would be interesting to try...
Thanks for that tip. Appliance paint would be good to use on a set of old cranks.Hey guys - another tid bit of insight.
