Stuff to know

What to expect

So we've worked out what design you want, and obviously you want your newly painted bike to look awesome. I do too. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't. 


Below is some blurb about the products I use, and how to care for your resprayed frame.

The Paint

I predominantly use Custom Paints.


Number of reasons for this, but the bottom line is it's the best stuff I've found. They do a great range of colours too, along with some awesome Chromacoats, like the frame on the right 👉


I then use a variety of air brushes, from small for detailed work, up to a midi spray gun for the bigger stuff. 

Caring for your new paint work

Bottom line is that wet sprayed bikes can chip and wear. That’s just the reality of resprayed frames. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t ride your new frame. It is a bike after all. And a few chips and scratches here and there tell a story.


However, there are a few things you can do to help keep your newly sprayed frame looking fresh and new:

  1. Once you’ve got the frame back give the paint and lacquer time to cure. I’d suggest leaving your frame around 3 weeks before building up your bike. Longer if you can be patient or if we‘ve given your frame a flow coat. 4-5 weeks if that’s the case. You can build up, and ride, your bike before this, but the lacquer won’t have fully cured by then. So be careful. If you’ve got as much patience as I have you’re unlikely to be able to wait.
  2. When working on your bike don’t clamp the paintwork. always clamp the seatpost. If you really really must clamp the frame then use a soft rag/towel, and keep the clamp pressure low. Avoid clamping any cables. This applies to any workshop that’s working on your bike too, or building it up for you.
  3. Cables and luggage straps will rub and wear on the paint. Consider using protective stickers in these areas, although don’t apply them until the lacquer has fully cured. You could even get your frame fully wrapped, which would protect all the paint work.
  4. Keep your frame clean. Points of contact i.e. cables or luggage straps, will rub against paintwork, and if there’s grit between the two then the paint will wear away faster.
  5. Use a resin type polish. It won’t stop your frame from getting scratched , but it can hide fine scratches to the lacquer. 
  6. If you do chip the frame, or the paint wears away, because you’ve been having too much fun on your bike, then we can do touch ups to local areas. We only offer this service on bikes that we’ve sprayed. Colour mixing, and paint compatibility makes this a minefield otherwise.
