It's black, purple, red, gold, orange....
Kid outgrew his race bike. He's growing like a weed now, so this may be short lived and I pinched pennies here because of that. Ebay frame, moved parts over. Just didn't make sense to spend a ton on something new if it's used for 1-2 years.
Took the opportunity to rebuild the Sid XX fork and extend it from 100mm to 120mm of travel. Frame has 100mm.
Paint is Custom Paints, Inc. Chromacoat Fireball. Best rattle can paint ever. Amazing stuff.
Came in at 25# ready to race. Not bad. #MTB #BikeTooter #cycling
@idropyou looks like a nice build.
I can’t believe you’re telling me that color came out of a spray can.
What kind of prep did you end up doing for the painting? Like if I wanted to prep my bike for similar.
@epu Thanks!
I did minimal prep on it. The surface was pretty good. Cleaned it up, and primed it with Rustoleum 2x black primer since the color needs a black basecoat. I sprayed grey on the headtube after that and masked off the shapes. Shot black primer over. Removed the mask. Then color went on and the 2k clear after that. Easy.
