[@UnliAhon]

This is so good. I always thought you had to strip down the frame to bare before you put on a new paint. Really cool outcome, it turned out very well.

[@LockedinCycling]

Unli Ahon yea if it’s. It in bad shape you can just scuff

[@ianiscaratti4924]

you can but i'll be heavier

[@himafroppy]

napunta ka dito lods ? 🤣

[@allenjulliusagravante6210]

Hi boss ian

[@fernandmilpingol3042]

penge sticker lods

[@DocBlasto]

This looks fantastic. Giant should just hire you to design their paint schemes, because they clearly don't have any idea what's going on.

[@dadstoygarage1878]

That’s sick! I could tell in the video opening you were a professional painter by the paint quality!

[@LockedinCycling]

@@dadstoygarage1878 thanks it’s one of my favorites

[@jeepychaos]

Love it ! What type of paint did you use for the splatter??

[@mattlloyd-cape9140]

This is so good! How did you prevent the paint from gunking up the gap between the headtube and fork? Did you fineline tape in the gap? Any special techniques?

[@amandaarbor7937]

I have a vintage bike that needs a new paint job and I so want to try this!

[@LockedinCycling]

Do it and tag me on Instagram!

[@abandoneduniverses]

late 80s early 90s mtb style paint. nice

[@davidfranklinv2860]

the guy who painted this did a good job. the splatter also looks well covered.

[@KnightMirkoYo]

Very nice job, thanks for sharing. I got 2K clearcoat cans from Germany, and still collecting some inspiration for my paintjob.

[@rootdown]

The best clear coat and the best primer in the market ! But is better to sand the frame down with 400 and after 600 sandpaper and remove the old color ,then apply primer ,let it dry 2 days and then apply your paint ,let it dry one-day ,finally apply clear coat

[@fernfloyd]

Very cool! I might do this on my Open UPPER frame.

[@samtugwell]

I have a new bike (black) arriving soon. Presumably I can skip the base coat, just buff, splatter, clear coat?

[@LockedinCycling]

Scuff , splatter, clear. U need something for splatter and clear to grab too

[@edits5515]

What kind of blue and pink and violet color did you use and is the black matte or glossy

[@edits5515]

I want to paint my bike like that

[@BruceChastain]

for sure came out great

[@williamlebron9873]

WOW! It looks AWESOME! I freaking LOVE it!

[@zhongyiliu3388]

Awesome work, did you let the base colour dry before splashing?

[@LockedinCycling]

Zhongyi Liu yes, your can will recommend the time, I waited about 20 minutes before splatter

[@Masami_Salami]

Very beautiful bike.

[@taaaaaaaaaaaarheeeee]

This is really pretty. Can you explain more about that final blue coat ? I want to do something similar to my black frame but not to this extent. Like halfway between black and this beautiful blue you added. I’m doing your splatter idea with purple on a matte black frame. I like how this blue wakes everything up.

[@LockedinCycling]

max whittelsey it’s a blue pearl coat, then I cleared over it

[@taaaaaaaaaaaarheeeee]

Locked In do you know a way to achieve this same look but not as thick ? Just a further distanced spray ? How thick did you use with the blue pearl

[@denozielzondi8316]

Very cool hope I know what spray paint was used in that frame

[@TheWhynotisback]

Type of clear coat used ?

[@charlieb7854]

Looks awesome!

[@leeomurchu1213]

How did you manage to spray the blue/green pearl on over the splatter? surely you sprayed the pearl before the splatter effect.

[@LockedinCycling]

that was actually last before clear

[@pablouvedoble]

Is it lasting or does it come off easily? Great job BTW

[@LockedinCycling]

Thanks and it’s been sold since this but I always clear bra my bikes to protect the paint I have a video on it

[@Mackooftheyard]

What paints did you use? Manufacturer, make etc. Thanks.

[@jacobsorensen6629]

Did you have any issues with the headset leaving the fork in the frame during the painting process like this? I was thinking of a similar setup but removing the fork. I could save some time and hassle leaving the fork installed like you've showed here.

[@LockedinCycling]

It’s best to slightly remove for better paint coverage but can be done leaving it in

[@jacobsorensen6629]

@@LockedinCycling Thanks for the speedy reply. I too have a TCX and am planning on painting soon. This video was super helpful! Cheers.

[@xhevitxhindoli2035]

I'm thinking of doing this on guitar, but I'm afraid of uneven surfaces from the splatter paint. Is that a problem? Should I add lots of clear coat? or should I sand the splatter paint down. FYI I'm using acrylic paint. Thank you in advance and great video.

[@LockedinCycling]

Xhevit Xhindoli so with acrylic I’m assuming it’ll have a lot of build up, I used water based paint for the splatter do it layed down well. I would do splatter and a lot of clear, I’d u have raised sections still, then sand it down and re clear so ur not directly sanding the splatter

[@xhevitxhindoli2035]

@@LockedinCycling Thank you so much for the reply. The acrylic paint I have says it's water based. I don't know if that makes a difference but I think I understand how I would go about this.

[@lordzookid4252]

I painted it like this 2 yrs ago 😮

[@okar1]

Nice! I really liked how some of the parts looked with only the pink dots.

[@calebhuddleston2843]

Do you think it would look good if I used white paint as the splatter instead of multiple colorful colors? Btw looks great good job!

[@calebhuddleston2843]

Also how long are you supposed to wait between black coats?

[@omarkurgas7209]

Can i use tempera for painting after spraying?

[@niktiniakos6353]

hello did you have to sand the splatter before adding the clear coat?

[@LockedinCycling]

Nik Tiniakos no I didn’t , just did few coats of clear over them

[@adolfomendez1033]

If I spray paint bike black, can I paint over with green glass stain spray can . Going try see what happens 😆 nice pain job

[@mbaulfinger]

Nicely done! Great video as always

[@ibrudy69]

What grit would that Scotch Brite pad be approximately ??? Or link to the product ... TIA

[@jeffcoe11]

I love the look of this, great job! Do you know the particular clear/pearl coat paint that you used?

[@LockedinCycling]

Sherwinn willams but many companies work, check out my diy backyard paint job video I did recently

[@peppermintpig974]

So how long did your base coats take to cure?

[@ianiscaratti4924]

when you'll have to replace te bb or mech hanger it will crackle. nice bodge

[@isisdaddy1]

Bro! Super fly!

[@LockedinCycling]

I try haha

[@irgccg]

did you have to remove the clear top coat before painting the base coat?

[@LockedinCycling]

irgccg I just scuffed it with a grey scotch bright pad that you see in the timelapse

[@andreasjessen541]

Great video, but is the green/blue ish pearl a clearcoat or regular colour? If so wont it just cover up the splashes - i love your project and really want to do one myself!!!

[@LockedinCycling]

Andreas Jessen it’s a pearl mixed into the clear so it goes over the splatter but as you can see you still see it all clearly

[@andreasjessen541]

@@LockedinCyclingMakes sense then, but thanks! ;-)

[@amelliahfoster2443]

@@LockedinCycling can get these spray in Jamaica?

[@newboysgeneration6198]

*If you r painting outside don't paint it if there is some even the slightest air blowing because it Will ruin the perfect spraying operation and do it in a steady or very calm weather to minimize the wasting and save some paint*

[@amacedonieto]

How many coats of clear did you put on it?

[@LockedinCycling]

Alejandro Macedo 3 coats

[@amacedonieto]

thanks!@@LockedinCycling

[@skyelee9398]

Awesome job 👍👍😎

[@JGilly-cp1tk]

Proper wish I had the outside space to do it but I'm in a assisted living type place with no personal garden anyone in uk got any ideas ad to where I could go to do this without getting shit for it

[@seun35]

Honestly I have a two bedroom apartment. If you can put up with the smell for a weekend it can be done. Just push all the furniture out of one room, tape drop sheets on all four walls, prep the frame and make sure to open the window once you're done 😎

[@gsgcarreviews]

Badass

[@Oelngatikameie]

could you make a Videho tutorial, showing from A to Z custom painting? :D Good Joob

[@irgccg]

what brand / type of paint did you use, 2k automotive or enamel?

[@palpatine1975]

You are suppose to remove and sand down all decals before paint. Watch ETOE channel.. That is a real pro

[@Ideal1980]

"I used a spraygun" -video shows another guy painting it.

[@edgardodeflammineis7780]

No sanding?🤔

[@LockedinCycling]

As mentioned I have full video on stripping it down fully, scuffing it up with grey sanding pad works if the surface is in good shape and will help primer bind. If you have chips or anything else you’ll see it not fully sanding or feathering that area .

[@kennethzandueta7346]

what kind of paint do you load in your spray gun?

[@LockedinCycling]

kenneth zandueta this was Sherwin Williams paint
