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.

[@BikeSeatPhilosopher]

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

[@tomthomsen990]

Can you get $3k USD?

[@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

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

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

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

[@co2588]

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

[@trap7196]

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

[@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.

[@bernhardbaron9323]

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

[@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

Oddly satisfying. Thanks for posting.

[@dzoni8191]

Amazing, beautiful, do you have more videos with steel frames

[@ETOE]

No

[@claypost6051]

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. ;-)

[@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.

[@m__r1100]

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.

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.

[@troygroff4512]

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

Quick question: the seat stay caps clearly spell "Battaglin" yet you logoed the bike "Cinelli." Can you enlighten me/us? Thanks

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

Can you do this on carbon frame?

[@myscreen2urs]

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

[@rudypaul86]

Another piece of art

[@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.

[@ETOE]

25 years of practice.

[@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.

[@kay1975]

Thank god KZbin doesn't block this kind of porn! Please never stop painting bikes!

[@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.

[@motionstudio77]

Awesome job 👍🏻👍🏻

[@VladimirRskovski]

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.

[@KuanTii]

so when you say its a chrome frame is it chromoly?

[@ETOE]

When I say it's a crome frame it is a frame which is crome plated.

[@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?

[@MrFingers127]

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]

@@MrFingers127 Thank you! I know one-can candy colors exist but had no idea there was a more involved process it descended from.

[@MrMackers1968]

Seatstay caps say Battaglin, how is this a Cinelli frame?

[@ETOE]

Bottom bracket says Chinelli. Chinelli did the tubes.

[@MrMackers1968]

@@ETOE CInelli cast bottom brackets for tons of other builders. Like Battaglin. I have Gazelles and Duells with Cinelli bottom brackets...

[@hubschols8618]

Battaglin is indeed the brand/builder of the frame making use of a Cinelli bottom bracket shell and lugs, Columbus tubing and probably Campagnolo dropouts. Brev. is the abbreviation for Brevetti which means "Patent" in Italian. So the number 228295-84 is simply a patent number for this type of Cinelli shell. Many italian and international brands have been using the Cinelli and Columbus framebuilding parts and added their own decorations and engravings to make it unique. But Cinelli also has been building frames since the 50’s. Nevertheless another great video, I really enjoy your work!
