Wow, the first person who explains all the process at 100%. Thanks Martin for your MasterClass.

[@ETOE]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mikepratt5964]

I just did my first hardtail frame using your videos as a guide. It came out absolutely perfect....like a new car's paint job. It took 4 weeks of prep and painting but totally worth the patience.

[@ETOE]

Great to hear!

[@wittigrxn]

I was hoping that I would learn how to do this at home in my basement, simply and on the cheap. Turns out, it is best left to the professionals of course!

[@ETOE]

I was hoping that Santa brings me a Lambo in purple. Guess what I can feel your disappointment.

[@rodolfoo3015]

Try mtn chrome paints.

[@rodolfoo3015]

​@@ETOE Damn that was cold...

[@ETOE]

@@rodolfoo3015 if you want to get disappointed as hard as having cancer just try to do chrome with spray cans.

[@feedbackzaloop]

@@ETOE better ask for a nyancat Ferrari and not being sued. Purple Lambo is something achievable, even if you're not Rick Ross

[@33Nautiboy]

Martin, your selfless approach in sharing your technique and knowledge is really awesome......Of course, your Artwork is always on another level. In my view, you are the Best Painter/Artist in the WORLD!!!

[@joseywales3789]

You know that Martin is concentrating and getting serious when he doesn't get in a left and right handed spray gun flip!!!! 😮😧😧😂🤣😂

[@jeromemarie4770]

Mate you're really hooked me into this painting thing. Now I've repainted my bike my helmet my game controlers and I am looking all around my house for shit to repaint. I hate sanding but still do it all the way through

[@vipkevin1234]

Although I don't know how to spray paint, watching your videos is a form of enjoyment.

[@ETOE]

Glad you like them!

[@July-fb7yc]

Oh, wow, my dreambike comes true! Im totally impressed and very thankful to you for sharing your knowledge and creativity with us - and your friendly smile, for sure. After many years of study, I want to become a painter. Your skills are fascinating me and paint the world with their unique color and glow. Thanks, Martin, the frame shimmery gorgeously!!

[@BigMurph45]

Martin this is incredible! Amazing work! 🔥🔥🔥

[@ETOE]

Thank you 🙌

[@jimmyringbom9622]

Thanks Martin ! interresting and fun ! i have tried it and its fun when it works thank you once again for a great video that explaines every step before real 2k clear ! none of the real chrome effects can take real sprayclear or 2k clearcoat directly ! and nobody else but you have showing exactly the steps to succeed ! great painting by the way !

[@NGCPD]

Sometimes you just admire talent knowing it's beyond you. Excellent.

[@somperohd7718]

[@jessesearls1389]

Thanks, that is the best video. I paint bikes myself, and everything you do and use reflects my experience. You are way ahead of me, so I say that with respect and to let other viewers that you have it right. .. sanding that last clear coat to get the logo on is heartbreaking, but it's got to be done. Good tip about the sandpaper on the sponge. Thanks again.

[@bchearne]

Way to undersell just how much skill you exhibited in this video! Very nice work indeed

[@ETOE]

Thank you very much!

[@rolandorosz1974]

hi, first of all, congratulations, you are very good! 👍🏻 Unfortunately, I didn't understand everything about paints! I can't speak English very well! could you please describe exactly what paint you used to achieve the final result, the order in which you used the paints and the mixing ratio, what are the names of these paints? Thank you in advance for your reply. My little girl's dream is to be like this for bmx Kind regards, Roland

[@ELITECMDR666]

[@davidismaelisrael7897]

Y recuerdo cuando se reían de los juguetes japoneses por usar estos colores . Se ve hermosa . Saludos

[@apn4turbo]

Really nice paintjob! So liquid metal goes over non-sanded clearcoat? Wonder if finish would be different if you sanded clear with 2000grit then finished with 3000 machine sander.

[@shiranRSA]

Wow … Awesome video and artwork. May I ask what is the best way to keep the paint art mint while keeping the integrity of the carbon intact? I was thinking about ceramic coating or PPF. How would the pain hold up with PPF and the sun or heat if I may ask?

[@petarslavoroduzasny]

Do you recommend to spray the bike in chrome with regular chrome spray cans, if done properly? I want to paint my old mountain bike and chrome looks really nice. For information: its a spray can thought for painting car parts.

[@ericcsaba8779]

As always you do amazing work!!

[@ETOE]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ross__mcl]

Such an amazing result! Lucky owner! Can i ask why you put the clear coat on and sand before the logo? Why not just clear coat after the logo

[@ETOE]

To waste as much lifetime as possible.

[@damensutherland7081]

I painted my bicycle today and i painted my other bicycle about a week ago just primer it was plated with nickel or chrome and i didnt have best adhesion didnt do much prep

[@Sickzero]

Looks like tempered titanium awesome!

[@ETOE]

Thanks.

[@김준희-k2d]

Great video😮 Can you also make a video of restoring paint with spray cans?

[@bradmiller4927]

That liquid metal effect was gorgeous, I’m surprised you didn’t leave some sections bare of colour. Brilliant job though!

[@ETOE]

I'm surprised as well.

[@tomrace3057]

Amazing job, fantastic finish. One question: the decals are there at the end so I assume they have a raised finish from the rest of the frame, which I find disappointing. What's the reason you didn't paint an original white layer, then mask using the vinyl, apply the paint job then removing the vinyl just for the final clear coat? Wouldn't this give a smoother finish? I'm sure you have your reasons for a professional finish!

[@EmilyHorridge]

I'd hazard a guess at the reason being that if you did a white layer on the black/clear coat, and then applied the chrome, intercoat-clear, candies, and then clear-coat, that's many more layers of paint above the white, so more difference in layer thickness as compared to the single white layer under the final clear. Also you could apply a final clear coat, sand it back to smooth off particularly around the logos, and re-apply.

[@RohitMahadev]

High quality stuff bro

[@xiaojiang2610]

I am speechless when I saw the masking alone... not to mention sanding off the clear coat only to apply the logo! BTW, why it is preferable to sandoff the clear coat for logo instead of just painting the logo above the candy and apply the clear coat altogether?

[@ETOE]

Just try it and you'll find out 😏

[@Joaquindeanimales]

Friend, what liquid do you use to clean before painting? alcohol?

[@NewtonInDaHouseYo]

You’re a true master !

[@motohead9266]

If I ever buy my dream gravel bike, it's going straight to Martin for a respray.

[@jackbrado6592]

chrome color is perfect

[@ETOE]

Thanks

[@MTMXBL]

can you make a video on applying a clear coat to a raw, high polished aluminium frame?

[@ETOE]

No I don't have the money to do that.

[@ARIVEstyle]

I have a chromoly frame from the 80s, can the metal be polished to make it mirror-like, then a 2k clear coat, and then add color or is it necessary to paint with chrome first?

[@Josecunyat]

Hello Martin! The reflective power of the chrome always go down by a lot when I put the clearcoat on top of it… does this intercoat help to keep it reflective? Since you did apply the candy I cannot really say…

[@hakanboqvist]

I'd be very interesting to see if you could replicate the intricate paint job of 90's Merida Albon Tech, especially the multi-colored ones.

[@ETOE]

Yes but it makes no sense. These bikes are so cheap no one is willing to pay for the effort to redo these paint schemes.

[@archiemorgan1194]

Great video, huge inspiration, keep it up!

[@ETOE]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rodolfoo3015]

Honestly you can get a nice result with mtn chrome paints.

[@RobAuditori]

I would be curious to the weight of the frame before and after that rad paint job.

[@ETOE]

I would be curious about your weight before and after your rad morning poop.

[@jbay443]

What’s that around 2 pounds of material applied to the frame

[@SansAziza]

I really just want to know more about the paint hardeners and sealants. I did a Schwinn in Krylon Colormorph, and I can scratch it with my fingernails.

[@joseywales3789]

My Advice is to watch Martin's earlier videos and he goes through each step of preparation, primer, color and clear coat!! It's not as simple as one can of paint does everything.... as you've found out!!!!😢

[@ETOE]

Color is like women. Some days at the month it's impossible to handle it.

[@Th3eePlayRecords]

Hey, cooles bike!!! Was für ein plotter ist das?

[@holdmyborsch1614]

Hello @ETOE, thanks for your videos, your work is amazing. You inspired me to paint my bike from Montana GOLD can, like in one of your videos, and i was pretty satisfied with result at first, but when i started using my bike i noticed that paint was really soft, when i stripe my bike to bike rack on the car i see dents on paint from stripes, and on the top frame tube paint come off almost to the primer or carbon. (it never happened with my original paint) I put 3-4 layers of paint and let it dry 10-15 minutes between coats and let it dry completely for 2 days, after i put 2-3 layers of 2K of clear coat and let it dry for few days. Maybe i did something wrong? I did it outside and the temperature was different in different days (from 22 to 33 +-) I will appreciate your answer a lot... paint was really good, but all ruined because of softness of paint or clear coat.

[@ETOE]

You trapped too much solvents in the paint caused by a lack of painting skills. Remove the complete paint job and start all over again with professional paints ( no spray cans) in a climate controlled environment if you want to achieve a factory like finish.

[@holdmyborsch1614]

@@ETOE thanks a lot for answer. Maybe if I gonna use heat gun, a bit, to help paint to dry, or it's not possible to get good result with can paint ? I thought this 2k clear coat should make it really strong )

[@CyclingLifePT]

Have you tried to do temperature change colors on bicycles? I think it would be interesting for those who want a warmer color in winter and a colder color in the summer. What do you think?

[@ETOE]

Yes I did please watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXzKm3htqNyZe8Usi=d4NspSZyR6aBHQe3

How smooth is the your clear coat by the time your done? I have LPH 80 1.2 mm E4 but I always get spit in my clear or is it solvent pop. Thanks
