How to remove paint chips and scratches on bike frames

[@simon7889]

There are tons and tons of knowledge in these videos. Thank you Martin, you're awesome.

[@fastestmilkman3840]

Welcome back Martin!

[@o.p.h.o.v.e.n]

This guy is extremely talented.

[@nathansteele7152]

This is amazing!! Thanks! Id love to see a video where you try Rotaris touch-up paint/primer/clear coat , to see how good (or bad) the results are

[@EliaszSobinski]

This video saved my arse! Thank you Martin!

[@andreasmahler3430]

Thx Martin, very interesting, thanks for the video, maybe I'll dare to tackle the small scratch on my gravel bike 😊

[@crapiecorn]

Something that's important but not really mentioned is : don't spray up until the tape line, otherwise you get horrible hard lines. Which are hard to remove without cutting through. Obvious for the pro's but not for everyone. If you are brave it's also possible with a mini gun with the fluid almost completely closed and low pressure.

[@JibbaJabber]

@1:43 Great advice as per usual. However, one quick question: commercial or organic poop?

[@BlacJac15]

Hi Martin, if I don't want to invest in a polishing machine I suppose polishing by hand would be fine, too? Is there anything I need to pay special attention to if I polish by hand? Thx for the videos!

[@ETOE]

Yes. Rub the tube like your d*ck. Fast and hard!

[@FractalZero]

thank you for your knowledge! you're the best

[@johntaylor6305]

Hi Martin, do you use the same compressor on all your guns or do you need a different compressor for the airbrush gun?

[@ETOE]

I use the same gun for all my compressors.

[@fsrveco]

Thanks Martin!!! Can you make a same video with mat cleacote?

[@ETOE]

Someday.

[@cesarricardolozanoleanez5026]

Thanks Martin, you're the best

[@Civilsboy]

@martingrey what it more important for a primer 2k or etch?

[@DavidtheDoom]

Woho! Another ETOE bike video!

[@MotoPisti]

Hi Martin, What is different regarding the process if the coat is matte lacquer? Thanks.

[@ETOE]

You have to turn three times counterclockwise before applying the clear coat.

[@FabS85]

Danke für deine Videos ✌️

[@julianreverse]

Gute Idee mit der Airbrush.

[@lionelescandor4727]

What happen to you brother?... Hope you are well!!! Keep being awesome!!!

Ich habe mir am Oberrohr meines Rose Backroad zwei kleinere Macken mit dem Cleat des Radschuhs beim Aufsteigen reingehauen. Größe ziemlich identisch zu dem Bike im Video. Die Farbbezeichnung des Herstellers für den Rahmen lautet petrol-black. Allerdings gibt es dafür leider keinen Lackstift und auch keine weiteren Infos zur genauen Farbe. Wie kann ich den genauen Farbton herausfinden um entsprechend deinem Video auszubessern? Deine Videos sind übrigens echt mega und habe so langsam alle durch😂 Werde über den Winter evtl. mein erstes Projekt mit einem alten MTB Rahmen meiner Schwester starten🤩 Kannst Du mir zur Farbe des Backroad einen Tipp geben? Danke!!!

[@ETOE]

Garnicht. Es gibt keine genauen Farbcodes für Fahrräder die man ausmischen könnte. Es werden von Herstellern nur Fantasienamen und Fantasiecodes vergeben die nicht in standard Farbcolorbanken enthallten sind. Hast Pech gehabt so wie jeder Fahrradlackierer auch, der mühsam per Hand einen passenden Ton finden muss. Mache es einfach auch mühsam per Hand.

[@slamaz1584]

HI, can You make a video how to paint wet-on-wet steel frame using Montana Cans, would greatly apreciate it, take care

[@motoservo]

Does this work on a powder coated frame?

[@ETOE]

Maybe. Depends on the powder used on the frame.

[@MorryB]

Cries in chipped matte finish...

[@theoriginalrecycler]

Nice job.

[@HamRadio200]

10cm around the chip?

[@SonnyDarvish]

To be honest, if I had a Specialized (meaning I'm at least a dentist), I'd rather Martin do it for me.

[@giannislymperopoylos5574]

THE CLEARCOAT IS NOT THE HARD STEP ...you can put 3cm clear above the surface and smooth it down ..to perfection..THE HARDEST PART ON THIS PARTICULAR JOB is blending the old and the new color and-or the overspray on base color ..especially on the edges so there is no noticeable difference.. and also having to put a 2 part filler to sand down it so there is no dent on the 2 surfaces..! the basecoat must be perfect..u never sand the basecoat ... if there are imperfections you sand it down and put a fresh new thin layer ..final hand above...!! the 2 part clear - wearing a proper mask- is the only way...its not only durable ..it cures quickly!!with the normal 1k spray cans we use...you need at least 3 days to let it cure before you sand it...throw in the garbage what they say about the curing time the companies on the label of the can...its just a reference hardening-curing time, not time so you can sand and buff-polish...if you use classic 1k clear -with no hardener- wait at least 3 or more days or till you can t smell anything moving it close to nose....then sanding with 800 or better 1000 ..ALWAYS wetsanding and with almost no pressure cause its so so soft.....till up to 2000..above 2000 you wont be able to spot the difference if you do a good buff polishing after..so there is no purpose going 3000 or so that i read sometimes... and now the question...how do you do the blending ...you move the airbrush far from the surface a little ..?u reduce the paint you put from the trigger?u r moving in circles..?can you share a tip of how you do it so it looks identical?apply several thin coats is the one you mentioned

[@dctriathlon2012]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@richconstans7043]

You are informative, but you need to sloooww down there Marty!

[@tomquimby8669]

that looks more like 2 cm not 10 cm

[@notime2stop]

First! :-D

[@shepshape2585]

It's super easy. All you need is 4 cans of professional spray paint, an airbrush, a professional orbital buffer and.....?? Or you could just buy a bottle of black nail polish and a bottle of clear nail polish, because it's just a bike, and you don't need it to look perfect.

[@_zhdanov]

True❤ But, this is TT bike... 99% it belongs to some narcisstic triathlete, so it HAVE to shine, like its owner 😂 I wouldn't be surprised of he's asking to polish his bike after each training😂

[@aarondcmedia9585]

Or you could listen to the video and hear him saying "For a professional job" - professional typically meaning "paid". We have someone showing us how to do it properly and all you can do is complain and gripe. If you don't want to see how to do it properly, watching these videos seems like a proper dose of insanity.

[@shepshape2585]

@@aarondcmedia9585 So you want to try using logic for the first time eh? Well let me ask you this…if you’re the kind of person to spend thousands of dollars on a bike, you’re also more than likely the kind of person who would just take that bike to a professional painter to have this done. I ride with a lot of people who have very expensive bikes and the majority of them don’t know how to do simple maintenance because they just take it to the local shop and pay them to fix whatever’s wrong. Those people aren’t spending hours painting a nick on their bike. As I stated originally, those with lots of money will pay someone, and those without a lot of money will use nail polish or touch up paint and call it good.

[@aarondcmedia9585]

@@shepshape2585 You continue to ignore my point, and Martin's point: if you want to do a professional job, you use a professional process & products. Not only do you ignore that point, nor have any counter argument to it, you also - despite your original comment still being visible - claim to have written something you patently did not write. You did not say "those with a lot of money blah blah blah" you said "it's a bike, it does not need to look perfect." When you're being paid to fix someone's paint chip, it does, in fact, need to look perfect. Martin is here to show us how to do that. Rather than recognise your own standards are woefully inadequate to the task, you ... complain and gripe about a free lesson in how to do a professional job. Sad. I have spent thousands on my bikes, I do my own maintenance, and will do my own painting too.

[@aarondcmedia9585]

@@shepshape2585 you didn't state originally, "those with lots of money will pay someone blah blah blah", you simply said "it's a bke, and you don't need it to look perfect." If you're being paid to fix someone's bike paint, yes, you do need to make it look perfect. Martin here is showing us how to do that. Why you seem incapable of understanding that is beyond me.

Erst 2K erwähnen und dann mit 1K grundieren, ergibt Sinn Martin

[@tomalbert3299]

Hm, zwar nicht gerade freundlich geschrieben, aber der Einwand ist gerechtfertigt. Würde mich auch interessieren, warum Martin das so gemacht hat.
