Retro Bike Paint Restoration | Day 14

[@gcntech]

What do you think of Ollie's new paint job? 👀 Would you like to see more DIY and bike painting videos? This version is now available in 1080p Premium! Relax and enjoy this viewing experience! 🎥

[@DetroitJohnny]

Could someone drop a link to where the decals came from? Please.

[@feedbackzaloop]

Now that is quality allows to see all the details, must point out you put one set of decals upside down and got a Cube logo on the seattube

[@scottf3456]

Yeah I think this is cool. Ollie is lucky he gets to do stuff like this for work.

[@skipwalker1954]

Watching the look on Ollie's face during this process is similar to watching a little kid wake up Christmas morning. Priceless! Great job!

[@nicmorton280]

Interesting video, great results so far, thanks 🏁

[@chrisofthecog]

This is a wonderful project, I would love to see more of this kind of thing. Very enjoyable.

[@cra_55]

HD remaster. You love to see it.

[@Seppster58]

Wow!! That revision to HD from 480p sure makes that frame shine even better. Thanks GCN for this.

[@lucafwn]

What I love is that you repainted it from scratch, but you went the whole extra kilometer(*) to make it as close to the original as possible. Great choice! I've seen too many videos of old bikes repainted in absurd colours just for the sake of it. -- (*) It's an Italian bike after all...

[@01FozzyS]

Beautiful work as always,Ali and Becs!

[@martinwarne]

Eh? Didn't I watch this yesterday?

[@risesir]

Nah, that was a different vintage Italian steel frame that just happens to look exactly the same. Weird, right?

[@Se7enFive]

You are in Matrix

[@matt_acton-varian]

The original version was uploaded in 480p standard definition, but they have re-uploaded it in HD 1080p

[@doctorscoot]

Am I trapped, like you, in video repeats? Send help?!

[@ReportReport-fz2pn]

One tip when using a flit can, immerse the can in hot water for five or ten minutes, shake, re-immerse for five minutes in fresh hot water, shake, repeat a couple more times. Dry the can so water doesn't drip off. Helps paint to spray more finely, and flow out better on the primer.

Hi Ollie, I’m so excited for your project. I’m pretty much doing same as you but I’m going to powder coat the first color. My bike is a 1965 schwinn continental. I’m going to be putting campagnolo veloce 10. Ive got a few more things to track down. I’m sure yours is going to be pretty nice.

[@endcensorship874]

I see that the idea of “mailing it in around Christmas” has made it to the UK

[@Verkehrskegel.87]

Re-upload... But why day 14 not ep. 2? Did I miss 13 days of uploads? Looks awesome though

[@InitialP_Photography]

Original video was only 480p

[@gcntech]

@@InitialP_Photography bingo! for some reason it didn't process in HD!

[@Savetime101]

I think this has been reposted due to the poor video quality of the first version. Thanks for rectifying GCN

[@gcntech]

no worries!

[@jamesfortune243]

Brilliant!

[@Millicente]

Wow this second (third?) paint job has so much more definition!

[@gcntech]

🧐

[@paolopetrozzi2213]

Very interesting, thanks.

[@feedbackzaloop]

Reupload in the name of repaint? Supernice! 🔔🔔🔔

[@emmabird9745]

Ollie, lovely finish but what are you going to do inside the tubes, so it doesn't rust from the inside out?

[@newhorizons.english]

Way better now. 👍

[@gcntech]

phew!

[@ajskatez6028]

So nothing that was shown was done with something that most people have at home. It would be nice to see the results from using for example spray paint in a can. Still it’s fun to watch how it’s done professionally.

[@pedro_8240]

Is this a re-upload of the same video? But this time at 1080p instead of 480p?

[@davidhellyer5353]

must be Groundhog Day repeat

[@Se7enFive]

Just make a T-Shirt with the title 480p and give it to Ollie in a Christmas 😂😂😂

[@peterhadfield873]

de ja vous all over again :-)

[@GilbertTang]

The old version had a certain old-timey BBC quality to it though.

[@SteveFullerBikes]

"I want to teach you how you can do this at home, yourselves", then proceeds use a spray gun instead of the cans ;) Great video despite that. :) Link to the decal supplier?

[@tc4724]

please advise sizes of your paint gun tips

[@reinholdachleitner2069]

It was perfectly watchable in the lower resolution.🤷‍♂️

[@Handletaken4]

You'll never ride a stiff carbon tennis racket again.

[@MarlonBonelli]

hahaha the reupload after they realised they only uploaded in 480p

[@savagepro9060]

Wait! Wait! Isn't that a repost?

[@gcntech]

nope. This one is in HD!

[@savagepro9060]

@@gcntech Oh! an HD Repost, how cute

[@sandwichbar8226]

Re-upload?

[@gcntech]

yeah, for some reason the first one didn't process into HD! We like things done properly!

[@patrickpointer8380]

Slightly confused Did i not watch this episode yesterday?

[@tw7518]

"I want you to restore this in a way that someone at home can do" . "Not a problem, im just going to degrease this and put it in the BLAST CABINET" !!!!! Who has a blast cabinet at home ??
