paint a mtb bike with wrap foil

If you have some wrapping foil or saran wrap at home, be creative with a special painting technique! In this video I like to show you how to paint an enduro MTB frame with wrapping foil. The result is an interesting carbon pattern on this enduro mtb carbon frame. MARTIN

Why use the word foil instead of wrap? Because it is easier to find in KZbin and Google search and more people can watch it.

[@GTILasi]

Hi! Erstmal vorab, dein channel ist echt toll, danke dafür! Ich hätte mal eine frage: wenn du mehrere klarlackschichten aufträgst mig zwischenschleifen um ein perfektes finish zu bekommen, wie lange lässt du den klarlack vor dem schleifen durchhärten? Ps:hab mein bike in anlehnung an dein gulf bike lackiert letzen winter, leider alles mit spraydose mangels lackierpistole, ist aber trotzdem toll geworden :) die idee hier lässt meine fingee aber schon wieder jucken ;)

@Hayes Otis This has nothing to do with the painting techniques in this video. Go somewhere else with your SCAMS!

@Stetson Lewis nice second account

[@martinladley]

we call it Cling Film, not foil or wrap , in UK. Great vid )

[@theodoro89]

It looks like forged carbon. Super cool idea and execution.

[@itichima9649]

Forged Carbon oO?

[@zrsgamboa]

I thoroughly enjoy watching you create such beautifully painted frames.

[@brentnicol6391]

Martin, I just love watching your video's. You do amazing jobs and I love your humour. I crack myself when I listen to what you say. Love it.

[@santiagoaraujo3202]

Martin, Du bist so talentiert. Ich würde Angst haben, hart zu fahren mit deinen Rahmen , weil sie so schön sind. Du hast mich inspiriert, zu versuchen, meinen eigenen Rahmen zu lackieren.

[@yuhaolu6595]

Another masterpiece!!!! For Q&A: Please show us how you prep the frame Martin. We know it's boring but it is such a crucial step of the whole paint job.

[@mrbayermc3115]

Ich war erst skeptisch aber das finish sieht echt hammer aus ... die technik kann man vorallem ja auch für so ziemlich alle Strukturen, wie z.b. Blätter Stoffe ect. die man so findet anwenden ... cooles Video

[@BikeItUK]

Fantastic...great work and amazing editing. Thanks for sharing your process but also all the hard work and lengths you go to editing these videos for us. All the very best Andy

[@JaviRP97]

Beautiful, it's even easier than painting into solid color, as imperfections aren't that noticeable. 👍

[@frankkiss3701]

Hi FANTASTIC. I just finished applying the same effect with metallic gold over satin black. I am very pleased with the effect. I went for a slightly different effect to allow more of the base colour (black) to show through. It was easy, you just wrinkle the foil into a smaller size then press into the paint and when you remove it from the paint you stretch it out tight and you end up with a growing mineral structure appearance. Thanks again so much for your inspiriation Frank (Australia)

[@marcelopajueloarteaga814]

Did you sand in between ?

[@frankkiss3701]

@@marcelopajueloarteaga814 Of coarse, and also sanded the gold also to reduce the stepped effect of the clear coats. This also softened the gold effect so that it didn’t jump out that strongly. I was going for subtlety.

[@aman06031989]

@@frankkiss3701 i have problem with stencils some time it lift the base coat. It is necessary to spray a clear coat over base before spraying stencils or can directly paste stencils and spray them over base coat ?

[@1234a-z7f]

you are such a good professional!!!!! super nice job, and your videos are so entertaining to watch

[@luukarends6946]

Can you also use a spraycan as the printing color? And can i use this technique on black primer or what should i do to start with a black frame? You gave the the inspiration to spray a frame myself!

[@Hermod_Hermit]

Absolutely rad video! Will do this to my Niner RLT steel bike comes fall. Right now I do not wish to be without it, but after the summer I think I could manage to be without it for maybe 2 weeks while doing this. Will paint about half of the frame (back end) silver, and the front end black with silver decor like this. Will also, completely shamelessly, copy the color of the logos, but will order pre cut vinyl stickers instead of doing the graphics using spray cans. I know, simple solution, and perhaps not 100% as good looking. But way less chance of me messing it up!

[@PmatWolf]

That is totally amazing sir, very awe inspiring thankyou

[@maxkrauss4155]

Would love to see the full shop. Are those just a random set of LEDs behind the peg board. Whatever it is, it looks great!

i just finished my bike with very similar colors, its a great idea.

[@attorreatravere4590]

Question for your next Q/A session : Can you tell us about a good brand for spray can clear coat? It seems that spray cans are generally lower grade, compared to the paints you use with your spray gun. Great job. All the best.

[@andrewschort724]

The airbrush he uses is definitely better. A spray can is really just a portable airbrush. The real thing is always better.

[@chrisfierro7437]

Beautiful paint job sir

[@charleshennings5134]

slick paint job, dude!

[@jumperharz6270]

Loctite can usually be softened with a hot air gun. Just be gentle near carbon parts to avoid delamination.

[@willimuller3697]

this looks awesome

[@jeromepalma8025]

Love the idea, I'm definitely will try it out.

[@GSXR750power]

I understand the principle, but I have a couple of quick questions : - When you use plastic foil once, do you put paint back on every time? - Once used, do you change sheets each time? Thank you for your answers and your inspiring work. What would be cool is that one day, you show us your material and the use you make of it

[@fernandobenavides4029]

Felicitaciones usted es uno de los mejores

[@frankkiss3701]

Hi Etoe I love all your videos. You have such great ideas and perfect execution. I am painting my mountain bike at the moment and planning to apply gold paint foiled over black satin. I am completing the project with spray cans and have some questions please. 1. I love the metallic mineral growth pattern, but do you have any ideas how I might allow for more black to show through (i.e. less gold on the frame)? 2. Once I have applied the foiled paint, would you recommend sanding and if so, with wet rub or scourer? 3. Would you recommend gloss or matt 2K clear as the finishing coat. Thanks for your help and keep the fantastic videos coming. Frank (Australia)

[@TalesfromtheGreenway]

Pretty awesome, I could imagine it sprayed with a candy red after the silver foil.

[@tykoon2121]

Good info and love all these tricks to paint. I ant Very heavy involved to bikes and I will be using what I watched from you to paint my bikes.

[@weswolf73]

the plastic wrap works OK, better if you just crumple it up in you hand and blot on the wet paint. even better is a plastic shopping bag crumpled in your hand. i tried it the way you did on my CBR and after a couple of tries i found that the shopping bag makes for a more dramatic structure and is far better at layering multiple colors. your version is good though if you are going for the more subdued washed out look. good vid.

[@Werwolf09]

@etoe Welche Farbtöne hast du verwendet. Gern auch in RAL. Danke :)

[@ThomasSmithTechArtist]

I'm a big fan of your videos !

[@tapsarautanen]

There are several recommended ways to loosen a bolt blocked by Blue Loctite or similar, you can find it on the technical sheet of the product.

another great paint job and very useful video thx Martin :)

[@romanalex24]

Шикарная работа👍👍👍

[@colorcustom]

Why you do it that way? You can do it other way. If you want Same or different effects, spray silver first and then dry, second you spray black and when its wet then you can use a protective foil or plastic bag. The beautiful effect can also be if you sprayed candy before clearcoat.

[@Race2you]

Hello Martin! Amazing! So first you "foil-paint" the frame. Doesn't this paint leave irregularities on the frame that come through the logo's? Especially when you use gold or silver paints for these logo's? Thank you for sharing your knowledge! It's really outstanding!

[@ETOE]

Yes.

great video thanks i am familiar with these ' mottled' finishes, its something we were seeing in the show/custom car scene several years ago.. it was very cool to see it applied in real time sort of to a bike frame i will probably try this when it is time to restore/ refresh my CF Devinci ;-)

[@andyreischl5248]

Das logo wenn du jetzt mit silber etwas stärker ausgearbeitet hättest u.dann mit einer lasur drüber wärst,würde meiner meinung noch etwas edler aussehen.zudem kannsr du mit der technik,mit mehreren schichten einen schönen tiefeneffekt erzeugen. Stupfen geht auch etwas leichter u.je nach folie,feine/grobe "farbstruktur". Aber sieht ganz cool aus 👍

[@runner6008]

Hammer 🤩 Wann muss ich den Rahmen für so eine glatte Oberfläche abschleifen ? Nach der ersten Klarlackschicht oder direkt nach dem aufbringen der folienschicht, bevor ich dann den Klarlack aufbringe ? Kann ich eine frisch lackierte Schicht schon mit alkohol oder wasser reinigen um den Schleifstaub abzuwaschen ? Liebe Grüße Niklas

Hiya. Love your videos. I am planning to do a dual-project with my son this winter: His GT MTB and my Specialized Secteur roadie.. What is this "Intercoat" you refer to? I cannot see it in the links, and assume this is not clear coat as that's the final protective coating.

[@9livesMtb]

When you remove the masking tape revealing the letters there's always a raised edge ..what do you do to level that off before clearcoat??..great job !! Looks cool 😎😎

[@alfiecartwright9655]

Paint away from the tape

[@alfiecartwright9655]

Paint away from the tape, if you paint towards the masking tape then it will leave a raised edge

[@9livesMtb]

No..what i mean is after removing the masking tape over the letters..( There's now no masking tape on th bike)... You are ready to clearcoat...there is sometimes a raised edge from the last colour on top of the letters ..you can see it when he removes the "R" it's this edge that either sticks up due to removal of tape or has a very slight raised edge due to thickness..if the letters masked are small i can't see how it's possible to paint away from tape in all directions..thanks for reply

[@carltonwade5696]

Wet sand 1500 and use real clear coat not rattle can it lays out thicker you don’t need to get it all the way smooth before clear you just want to break the edge
