BIKE PAINT - Cromovelato on vintage steel bike cinelli

[@tomthomsen990]

Awesome video! I asked this before but I'll ask again, what are people willing to pay for that amount of work and supply cost? I painted helmets and bicycles 30 years ago but went back to college and became an engineer. I had fun painting and still do but short of opening a body shop, I wasn't seeing the kind of profit needed to make a good living. I'm in Socal as is Troy Lee so there's a decent client base here.

[@ETOE]

Way too much is what people in bike forums say. Not enough is what my friends say.

@@ETOE Thanks, Martin. That linked video was just what I was hoping for.

Can you get $3k USD?

Nice, do more steel frames!

[@mikebeatbox5005]

I agreed

[@almacquarrie]

This is SICK! Lugged steel Italian frame ☑️, vintage patina ☑️, green chrome fade ☑️. Bravissimo!

[@HD46409]

Best frame so far. I'm drooling (and I grew up in the 80's). Thanks.

[@franciscoapellido8182]

That red inside the C is the perfect final touch. Good job, Martin!

[@uwetriceps3036]

yeah but a weird touch too cause its a battaglin frame :D

[@timhepworth7867]

That red on the C in Cinelli is bang on. Great spray job as always.

[@underbikedoverconfident1142]

I wasn't into this paint job until you did the final reveal and it looked incredible!

[@trap7196]

This is my favorite one yet by far! That's saying a lot considering I love all of these videos.

[@co2588]

wow! wonderful result. Nice to see someone who truly enjoys what they do

[@BuffsVintageBikes]

You certainly nailed the pudding on the wall with this one, pure Art 🙌🏼👌🏼👊🏼 I love how you make it look so simple where many of us know this is one of the hardest spray jobs to get perfect 👌🏼

[@lookinforanick]

You, my man, are a f*in legend! In one or two years I will replace my steel travel bike for a full custom, and will sure ring you for the paintwork.

[@londonpickering8675]

Thank you for taking the time to paint, record and edit this video. Fantastic!!!

[@ETOE]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@powerrangerboom]

Great job! But the frame is not a Cinelli, it's a Battaglin. Why putting that name? Battaglin also offers some nice Cromovelato paintjobs on their new bikes. Cheers!

[@ETOE]

Because the tubeset is made by Cinelli and labeled by Cinelli under BREV.228295-84. So it's official a Cinelli wo produced the Battaglin lugs and tubesets.

[@SomperoHD]

Much more SteelFrames please !

[@artursudnik]

please, do not try to be a clown. you show so interesting skills, it is not necessary at all.

[@biggussniffus5537]

I've painted a frame with a similar effect, but using automotive 'Anodised effect' rattle tins, which adhere really well onto chrome coatings and are also semi-transparent.

[@biggussniffus5537]

They are called Dupli-color Metalcast

[@duncanargentina]

Exclenete Trabajo! Amo el acero, las mejores bicicletas con chromovelato son las Officina Battaglin. Son hermosas! Creo que el cuadro que pintaste es Battaglin, no es Cinelli

[@MegaXtc11]

Aunque muy costosas las Battaglin

[@5tanw0rr311]

Gorgeous! But no head tube logo 🤔 ideal place for the C in Cinelli ..

[@bernhardbaron9323]

I seriously wetted myself as you pulled of the stencil after putting red onto the cinelly logo.

[@cesarricardolozanoleanez5026]

Very cool. I got some friends in my city that have old bikes, it will be interesting show them this paint job. Although I m a doctor and have plenty of work, I love biking and everything that goes along with it, painting is fun and may be some extra money would be nice in the f..cked economy of my country. Thanks Martin 👍🏽

[@m__r1100]

That's stunning.

[@jamesdelgado2009]

Very nice explanation of the type of paint job and what it takes to do it. I have an 89 Pinarello Montello with this type of paint, in a sort of brown color believe it or not. It has factory pantographed Campagnolo seat post and Cinelli stem, factory-painted to match the frame and I always wondered how this paint job was accomplished. It is all in fgood condition, probably because I've had the bike and am too afraid to ride it as I have been told that this paint is very delicate and I can certainly see why. Seems to be holding up but having not been on the road or exposed to the elements for almost 25 years, I guess that should be expected.

[@randallsmith7885]

I just saw a chromovelato finish on a bike that had rust forming through the chrome. It will take some effort to restore it, I suspect.

[@TheRobertververs]

Wonderful, really virtuoso again, love to watch your video's

[@amc1974]

Another amazing finish. Superb.

[@etriger53]

Nicely done!!!! You have inspire me to paint my old road bike aluminum frame. One question what is the best way to paint decals/logos on the bike. Thanks keep it up great work.

Wonderful video! Is the clear coat also special for cromovelato? I have an early 1980s Moser frame with cromovelato paint that is starting peel in places. I would like to at least slow it down, and was thinking of clear coating it. Thanks again.

[@July-fb7yc]

Important question, I think so too. Can't find anyone in Germany, who (re)paint my cromovelato. Really sad story. I guess, Martin used the same clearcoat, because it has to cover up the the basic chrome layer (from the beginning) in the peeled off areas, too. But it's just a logical reflection - so it could be false. ;-)

[@nilosbikecustomizacao]

I appreciate this tip, your work is magnificent, it turned out really cool, I'm doing a similar job that led me to watch your video, does it look cool in blue, green and pink colors?

One question: I repainted a vintage metal frame with a 1k spray can colour and it came out beautiful, however because its just a spray can colour it's very soft and can be scratched easy, but a friend lended me a compressor. The question is: CAN I SPRAY A 2K CLEAR COAT OVER 1K PAINT? I could find a relevant answer any were on the internet about this. Cheers Vlad.

[@ETOE]

The answer is yes and no depending on the ingedients used in the 1K and 2K.

[@SuponSupon-wk5to]

Thank you!

[@Adrian-mf6id]

[@rings4452]

Have you ever experimented with Duplicolor Metalcast rattlecans. They say they are designed to adhere to chrome and bare metal without a primer to produce a translucent colour effect. ..maybe this could be an idea for a video.

[@ETOE]

I had the idea 7 years ago to use Dupli Metal Cast cans but couldn't afford them since. As you might know my followers don't support me and I have to finance all by myself.

Quick answer: find the same question under this video with my answer.

[@lorir5682]

Love it Martin! That came out soooo sweet! Haven't even seen one of those since I was a kid. Do you use a HS clear on all of your bikes? Which gun was that you used to spray it?

Please find the spray guns in the video description

@@ETOEThanks. I saw the LPH80 in the description, just thought it looked more like a full size gun for the clear. Love your work!

[@vintagelugs1708]

I do not tire of watching this video. Such beautiful work. I have a newly chromed Faggin frameset to which I want to have a cromovelato finish. what can you tell me about the primer? is it an adhesion promoter as would be used on plastic bumpers?

[@plantpoweredhealth9383]

I think similar, I use 1K adhesion promoter on bumpers but this was a 2K clear primer it seems.

Do you mean rubbing alcohol as a degreaser? And did you degrease again before the clear coat? Thanks!

[@massimofi]

Hi! Super nice job! Did you add some clear coat which we don't see on the video? I am wondering how it is possible that the bottom bracket has clear underneath as you didn't really spray to there? I have hard time to apply paint/clear to all parts especially under the frame and you seem to do it effortlessly. How is that possible? Thank you.

[@Aubreykun]

I looked up Cromovelato a week or two ago and found almost nothing about it. Then you come and make a whole tutorial and save the day - Spooky! The only question I still don't know the answer to: What exactly IS cromovelato? Does the same basic system of dyed clear coat over chrome exist under a different name in the automotive (or other) paint world?

[@williamsanders]

The closest sibling that is widely known is the "candy"-colouring, as found on cars from the 1950's, and Fender guitars of the 1960's. A metallic sparkle finish (either silver or gold), which was then oversprayed with a dyed transparant (often red) layer, and a clearcoat to seal it all in. Google "Candy Apple Red" for plenty of examples. Cromovelato is the exact same principle, but instead of using a (rather coarse) metallic flaked baselayer, it uses a mirror-like chrome finish. The margins for error on Chrome are way tighter: every little flaw will be glaringly visible and obvious.

[@Aubreykun]

@@williamsanders Thank you! I know one-can candy colors exist but had no idea there was a more involved process it descended from.

[@myscreen2urs]

So, no sanding at all with this paint system? 🤔
