[@powaytheband]

I hope your getting some kind of reward for all these videos. I can’t imagine the work that went into this one. Super informative super positive attitude. You’ve got style

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

No awards Im just a little crazy, and I like sharing what Im doing with rad people like your self! Thank you for the support, honestly its what keeps me going.

[@capitan_aguachirri]

Just if you want an advice, next time that go paint something on you garage, sweep the floor like you did, but after that get the floor wet, so the particles of dust are not gonna flow around, I'll be safer. That's what my old school teacher told me that he used to do to paint cars. Peace

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

YES! That is great advice. I had not even thought of it. Thank you for taking the time to spread a little knowledge.

[@devincook3278]

I’ve painted my firearms in the past with This and I’ve been wondering how it would work on a bike! Awesome that I found this vid, bro!

[@thomashughes_teh]

I learned new stuff. Thanks. I parked at a rack next to a paint job that made the lightweight frame look like unpainted rusty dirty steel. I still can't figure out how the artist got that specific look even though I had already seen a video on how to make an expensive bike look old and worn.

[@tommymontovani266]

This is my favorite video series ever. I love hearing your process and love the honesty you put into these videos. These videos/projects are so inspiring. Only thing this one lacked was some Bongripper.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

HELL YEAHHH

[@neilpook3719]

That frame looks absolutely amazing! All that work has certainly pated off! I could never do that. But thankfully, I've got some of your DCO decals. They look amazing too!

[@stephenbailey1931]

Cool looking frame dude. Respect from the UK.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Much appreciated

[@casparwhittey]

Excellent video, thanks for putting this together! Rattle canned my old aluminum frame as a project last summer, and felt the same about it being a long process. Turned out nice but dry time was super long and it's not the most durable paint, so I'm envious of your choice! Camo looks great

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Stoked you painted your own rig. Such a satisfying thing to paint your own bike.

[@axlent123]

So cool! My first frame paint job… well, my only frame paint job.. turned out bad.. epic fail! Can of krylon or whatever, and some pin stripe. Thank you for diying this even though your channel is cycling. My channel, is directed towards adventuring, but I want to do maker diy stuff.. not sure that I can do both on one channel. Bikepacking one video, epoxy diorama the next video… probably not niche enough. But doing this diy on your bike… excellent… that and your talented!

[@nickkent7164]

Can highly recommend using spraydotbike. Powder coat in a can. Super easy to use and great fun.

[@danielreams4042]

Nice! The end result is great.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@xBLACKxPOWERx]

This video was really helpful the watch for my painting project. I was just wondering if some one could repost the link to find good como stencils. Thanks 🙏🏽

[@coenng5787]

You could try to sand it with grid 3000 and add another layer of matt clear coat? I do this a lot with scale model cars.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

This is a great suggestion! thank you

[@towhee7472]

Put another two layers of matte clearcoat on top, then sand THAT down evenly, then put another layer of matte clearcoat on top of that, you will have a smooth surface and all the layers underneath!

[@phillys976]

Wow bro, your patience is impeccable! Great vid!!!

[@lazypanda1493]

That’s is so freaking awesome, you did a fantastic job!

[@markjthomson]

For a non paint booth this is a good solution and well done all in all! I love painting bike frames! Great result.

[@robertkeith9620]

For paint stencil material use either Gerbermask or Controltac. They are made for this type of application and do not leave any residue when removed.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Player! Good looking out on these. Thank you!

[@taekwonmn2007]

Respect for the patience u got for getting the project done..congrats man!

[@socaltop10]

High quality work! Nicely done.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thank you!

[@erlinghagendesign]

you can use another fresh sticky tape to take of the residues of glue from a ( sticky ) tape. It works great and you have not to deal with a liquid and probable smearing. Just tap it repeatedly on the places with the residues. The tape will take it off. This works on any surface, also to remove glue residues from stickers on plastic containers for instances.

[@drewcama5481]

You have lots of patience building and testing your paint booth. I also like that you made a step list. All good smart habits. So what did your buddy say about smoothing out the ridges from the layers of paint? How long did you let the paint cure before spraying the clear coat or coats?

[@tyronehale4017]

Awesome job dude!! I'm planning doing an awesome job on mine!! Just the choices of design ideas 💡 👌 😀

[@cafesosehelsinki198]

Hi Dustin! thanks for the video! i could not clearly understand what your friend said on the phone, did he say YES you can sand it? and could you tell me specifically what kind of final cleaner you have been using? maybe a link to the product would be appreciated a lot! sorry to bother and thanks for the help!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Basically because of the Paint that I used(which has a hardener in it) I did not need to sand it down. There is a bit of texture to this day between the layers but I actaully like it. To make it smooth you would have to use a different paint and then add a clear coat over top. Hope this helps!

[@cafesosehelsinki198]

@@EverythingsBeenDone thanks Dustin! I´m doing my first steps with Spray.bike paint and I use a clear coat over it on top, seems to work fine. I was still wondering what the final cleaner product is in the end of the video? cheers

[@Muddy.Teabagger]

iv painted 3 bikes now, all done in my living room and all with spray cans 1st one looked good till i clear coated it a bit shit, 2nd one was a lot better but still some drops here and there but my 3rd good at a frame turn out mint, and i only spent about £15 on paint for it. but nice work man dont like camo my self but turned out nice.

[@RGDelaCruz-p7y]

Wow.. Beautiful it looks great. 😍

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@danielgarrad]

Looks really good, why didn't you just get the ready mixed camo paint, it's usually next to the tartan spray paint?

[@nigeljohnson8022]

Dude that is one super cool paint job.

[@DocBlasto]

This is awesome. I've never seen a video that explained the painting process so well. I finally feel like I'm ready to tackle the paint on my old Fuji Track, which has the worst factory color scheme I've ever seen (plus 10 years as a neglected city bike, locked to posts and whatnot).

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Hell yes!

[@donnovicki9771]

I want to paint my bike World War 1 Lozenge camo but its a daunting task and I need to make or find a stencil. Any ideas where I might find them ? Good job.

[@palebluedot285]

Keep the good work up Subscribed😍

[@sixtwenty2181]

Killer work! Tackling my own project but using spraybike as BK apartment space doesn't really accommodate a spray set up. Actually matching a fork to one of your ritchey stems!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

I am grateful for my space that is for sure! Would love to see what your end up coming up with.

[@masterbeaner]

What compressor did you get? And what spray gun? Any info for your setup would be appreciated also.

[@masterbeaner]

Oops! Just seen your links in the description. I should think before i type... appreciation.

[@brianemunroe]

Watched this video a few times now, so dope and I love your attention to detail.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Respect!

[@ercmadden]

That turned out super cool.

[@sangriastudios]

any progress on camo commotion stickers, so we can do it the easy way?

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

working on it day in and day out ;)

[@sangriastudios]

@@EverythingsBeenDone maybe you need some financial incentive... name a price... ;)

[@officialLINKSIS]

Dude you went all out! Baller status!

[@noureddineelaroussi7680]

Good job, I like your perseverance!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thanks player!! Slow and steady.

[@fredmac1607]

Or instead of building all that ventilation equipment, spending all that and doing all that stuff you can simply paint in your garage with the door open or paint in your backyard. Plus they sell spray can or aerosol paint that is pre mixed way more cheaper than buying a spray gun and compressor. They also sell clear coat in aerosol cans. The one great Idea that I liked was the making of the stencil for the camo pattern.

[@leefitler4597]

Camolicious. Can’t wait to see the build!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

ME tooooooo!

[@Minecraftzocker135]

Crazy how much effort you put in to preparing the surroundings. Compressor, right Air flow, Ventilation, plastic booth. When I sprayed my bike I just bought some cans got outside and sprayed But it also doesn't look as good as yours

[@johnwilliamson9453]

You're amazingly tenacious, and thorough. I thought camo would be easy...NOT!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

I did too, Or at least easier then it was. It was straight forward just lots of steps. Stoked I did it though.

[@terminatorpaul]

Hats off for the amount of effort you put into it my friend. Great job.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thank you my friend!

[@havarlyning3774]

You are so skilled dude, keep up the work🤗

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Much Respect!

[@trooperodst6880]

Multicam awesomeness!!!!!! amazing both bike and both camo :DD

[@masterbeaner]

Link to compressor is no good. What compressor are you using? Thanks for future info!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

I got you. Just updated the compressor link. Thanks for the heads up!

[@foreverridingsolo]

Dustin, I’m in the process of painting my bike using rustoleum camo paint. I know it will not get the same result like yours, but wondering What did you use to dry your paint, did you leave it for few days or weeks?

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

See what the can says for cure times, I would follow that. Would love to see it when your done.

[@abdulnaimrosli7109]

so after you clean the surface with goo gone.. do you sand it?? and do you use any clear coating paint for finishing touch?? nice project btw..

[@geoffpoole9107]

Great video; in terms of the amount of time taken preparing the frame for painting and then painting it, applying stencils and the like, would it have been more cost effective to get a professional frame painter to do this job?

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Your missing the point. It’s not the journey. I am a maker.

[@hansschotterradler3772]

Great Job! I would never have the patience to do that. Not even a single coat.

[@duncanbawler2314]

That’s looks sick! Fella at our shop recently took a Ridley x-bow in minion yellow (as standard) and did a custom paint job, in like Audi grey Looks so rad!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Sounds amazing!

[@duncanbawler2314]

Dustin Klein trying to share the before and after images with you but can’t on here

[@charleshennings5134]

That's killer, dude! big ups

[@alexandermaytower2942]

interesting project! hey, I`ve got to ask, how much does the paint weight, like before after frameset weight?

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Damnit! That is an awesome question! I didnt even think about that. I wonder if we could find the weight of the frame online some where?

[@alexandermaytower2942]

h-h)) maybe you can contact your supplier, but it would be truer or more relevant to weight the same frameset with the same scales or what not))

[@alexandermaytower2942]

yeah, it looks like you`ve had enough on your hands allready, precision and time framing often cuts unnecessary steps, it`s not like it`s that lightweight of a bike build for weight to be a target, it`s just curious due to that many layers and this technic how much does it really add up.

[@andreazani5587]

Oh my good looks really good😍

[@wowchad]

Turned out great, but where is the link to the stencils? It'd sure save me some time with an exacto knife. 😀

[@osvaldasn]

Amazing channel. Thanks for your work!

[@DuanDao]

Kudos on the cerakoat doing it on a handgun is tricky you did it on a much bigger scale

[@ttizm]

Hi, Dustin. Congrats with the result & thanks for making this video. PS I can see you love typography, so if you will, may I ask you about cholo type that you use for "EVERYTHINGBEENDONE". Is it a font? Thanks and good luck?

[@antallen1319]

Great video and a great paint job. Well done👍

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Much respect!

[@robertbonner5973]

Awesome paint shop set up , and that Bombtrack frame and fork looks amazing ; a true work of art .

[@bobtaylor9959]

I knew a guy who used different size corks to block seat tube, steer, etc it also works well.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thats a rad idea!

[@cedricrene1531]

This is insane Great work!!

[@tracker-one-niner]

Good job Bro..I loved it. simply awesome...

[@johngreene6783]

That turned out really nice

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thanks player

[@EricBalcon]

I like the way you go straight to your goal. I have the same project. But something doesn't look good in the final result, the lips between layers are really visible, I do not want to have the same problem, could it be the wrong thickness of your decals or to many coats of paint ? I also noticed that you didn't put a coat of varnish, this could have fit the gaps of layers ? I understand that for a first try mistakes happens.

[@multisportscott]

This is freakin amazing. Really looking forward to seeing this bike built up and more importantly, hear your thoughts on it, thanks for sharing man

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Oh man cant wait to see this thing built up too!!

[@TheDrWhac]

Just ordered a shirt with your Pure Elation graphic! Great video, can't wait for the shirt

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

YESHHH

AS ALWAYS, YOU ARE A WIZARD WITH ALL OF YOUR WORK! The result was marvelous,bigups!

[@iflowslow]

Awesome video!

[@scottatkins8381]

Very cool! Now I understand why you painted my new stem! It’s totally sweet btw!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

That stem tho!!

[@davidtaylor5205]

Sweet paint job Dustin.

[@snorristurluson9679]

Holy Shit....even if i don't like camo on a bike , that's an amazing job ! I have to say i'm from Europe and we don't wear Camo all day and run around with Guns like you do.....;) My Order of the Hook EXT Steel really messed up because there was a fuck between the Distibutor and the Bikeshop but thank devil i found the LAST Frame in Small in whole Europe ! Will get it on Friday...hopefully... I am curious how you will build up that beauty then......I go for a mix of Force and Rival 1 x with Hunt Wheels and Gravelkings and Ritchey Parts of course...

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Cant wait to get this thing rolling...so close!

[@keithlong3129]

That deserves a new subscriber my name is Keith from Asheville North Carolina I like what you did to the Bike that turned out sweet

[@sickbikes2066]

Does spray paint works on carbon frame?

[@thezian]

I love seeing the process, and thank you for sharing! Do you have any detailed photos for us to oogle at?

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thanks player. There are some detailed shots on my IG: instagram.com/dustinklein_/

[@daveh8880]

Frame reflects aspects of you...schwag, v.cool but understated and always unique. Nice work....

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Humbled!!! Thank you.

[@daveh8880]

Dustin Klein Totally welcome. Always look forward to your videos.

[@skarvenger]

Can i use normal spray can on carbon fibre?

[@notyourpapi]

I just want to paint a camo. Seeing this made me threw all the stuff i should paint.

[@trashbike4262]

check out my paint job: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3_dopSZna2BsJo i used spray can and resoult are nice, much easier then using stencils

[@trashbike4262]

@Sma 556 thanks i take idea from guys spraying riffles and guns, there is lots of videos they do crazy good looking stuff, it was my first time and it was easy of course its not perfect but for ammount of time i spend 3 hours i think its best way to paint camo

[@hayabusa27]

Very cool project well done

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thank you player!

[@abrahamvines6355]

Great Video Dustin! Wish more folks did this type of video! I am going to do a complete repaint on my bike. How much did this setup, equipment and paint cost you? I can’t find any info other than me taking the time to spreadsheet it but could you provide a ball park figure? Thanks man!

[@raymondmilante708]

Youre the one I am looking for, I hope that you are here in the Philippines and have this done to my bike frame, but I am wondering how much it would cost me

[@SimoneOrtisi]

What’s the pantone of the first green? Thank you :) Simone

[@Graptos]

How did you deal with the edges? Did you sand and top coat?

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

I decided to leave it and let er ride

[@garymorgan75]

Very informative good job

[@Bikesikol]

Amazing. Very informative.

[@harperw4434]

Great! Your black eyeglasses are fire! 🔥.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thanks player!

[@javicarmonagalvez]

Did you clear coat it?

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Duracoat doesnt need a clear. ITs in the paint, which was very helpful.

[@tednruth453]

What was the adhesive stencil material Herr Dustmeister Klein?

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

I think theres a link in the description. its a brand that makes vinyl camo stencils for painting

[@tednruth453]

Danke schone, bitte, ser gutte, ja wohle 🎉

[@aaronedge1655]

DUDE! Sooooo good!!!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

YESHHH thanks bud!

[@ZER0value]

I genuinely don't know why I haven't subbed to you until today. Your videos always pop up in my feed and I always find myself watching them when that happens. That Bombtrack is hot as fuck- good job my guy!

[@PaatStrada]

Awesome job dude! Definitely inspired me to do more diy paint jobs!

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Yeah brother, I look forward to seeing them.

[@Andrew-on5do]

Yo any reason why you went so small on the camo stencils? It looks cool either way.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thats the size the stencils come in. I had 'little' choice.

[@Andrew-on5do]

Dustin Klein I love punctuation based humor.

[@jjjtung]

This was such an awesome video

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Thank you. I totally dig your thumbnail image!

[@ggbryan22]

Nice work man! What kinda fan motor did you use for your exhaust ?

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Good question. I dont recall the actual brand name. it is a fan that has the motor on the outside of the unit. They are commonly used in HVAC systems.

[@ankushk90]

Hi Dustin, that was such tremendous task you did and looked so awesome. Looking at the video, I observed that you did not remove the original layer of the paint that was on the frame and I have a question related to that, I bought an electric cycle a week ago, however I would like to custom paint it, is it okay to paint over the original paint or not? And any other tips you may want to add would be helpful too. Thanks in advance :) Keep doing the great work. Love from India

[@danwebb6766]

How's it holding up?

[@1LeggedAdventures]

where did you get your stencils?

[@mjfollmer8506]

I am definitely going to try this out, except on the rub rail on my little homebuilt boat. Love the look of the gradient.

[@EverythingsBeenDone]

Love that! Oh man that is going to be one fresh looking boat.
