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

[@ETOE]

Glad it was helpful!

[@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

[@joseywales3789]

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

[@jedisdad2265]

Been missing these videos! LOVE watching Martin create!

[@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!

[@allyp7]

amazing finish. i loved it in the stainless steel!

[@Fudders]

Thanks for the video Martin, wonderful work. I never realised how easy it was to achieve such a beautiful finish until I saw this video! 😉

I once did a flawless paint job with spray cans. It was great!

[@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!!

[@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.

[@Ninjump]

Damn! I needed this video a couple of weeks ago. Great results. Saving it for my future bikes as chrome is my color! 😅

[@ELITECMDR666]

That looks amazing.

[@claremontinteriorsmw]

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

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

[@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?

[@rafa787]

nice job

Please review the ventilation and heating of the paint booth.

[@Joaquindeanimales]

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

[@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.

[@rodolfoo3015]

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

[@Th3eePlayRecords]

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

Thanks a lot. That helps to create new videos.

[@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

[@hosemorelas2439]

Wow!

[@stopneverstop]

which transfer paper are you using...it seems really low tack

[@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

[@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.

[@mikeyseibert1406]

Another awesome job!!

[@ETOE]

Oh thank you!

[@IgorKovtun]

Awesome)

[@motohead9266]

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

[@ETOE]

Go ahead

[@manfredseidel1413]

Hammer 👊

[@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…

[@charlesmansplaining]

That's some fine work. Good job. The colors is a bit too much for my taste. I liked it at the point where it looked like a steel bike and some black and white graphics added.

[@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.

[@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 )

[@garbel11]

Du bist ein sehr sehr geiler Lackierer👌👍

[@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?

[@davegee124]

holy moly.

[@caemman5728]

I have 1996 diamondback like to restored but the time and budget wise..

[@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

[@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.

[@skullgaming4558]

[@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.

How to get one of those machine making stickers

[@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.

[@matthausfrick5971]

HI Martin, tolles Video wie immer :D Was mir natürlich besonders an deinen Videos gefällt - neben dem offfensichtlichen können natürlich - ist dein deutscher Aktzent. Ich vermute mal ganz schwer dass ich mich ganz ähnlich anhöre beim Englisch sprechen. Kannst du mir verraten wo du einen Rohen Carbonrahmen her hast? Grüße außem Ländle

[@ETOE]

Ja gerne. Vom Kunden.
