REVEALED: A behind the scenes look on how partners Pinarello and SPT create the ultimate paint job

Sit back, relax and discover how we’ve worked with our friends at Pinarello & Silverstone Paint Technology to explore new paint technologies for our DOGMA Fs

No words, no music. Just perfection.

[@MrWrob32]

Totally agree. They just let his skills do the talking

[@SLOPPEWALL]

Completley agree.

[@urbanjungle9600]

You don’t need sound or fancy music when craftsmanship is being displayed. Watching people dedicated to the pursuit of excellence is such compelling viewing.

WoW 😍 Beautiful frame 🤩 Perfect Job 👌👍

[@jimbrittain2617]

So, what was the weight of the original frame and the newly processed SPTF1 frame?

[@johnrobinmetcalf6315]

Wow 🤩 looks impressive.. love ❤️ it

#SPTF1 when i worked for Bianchi back in 2000s they put decals UNDER the laquer coat. Seemed sensible to me. Why do you put them on after laquer?

[@emmanuelmartin4712]

I saw another Pinarello video where they used the exact same technique. I wonder how water slide decal can live without protection…

[@jamesledner4745]

Awesome

[@Native7i]

Wish I had one with INEOS colors..

[@angeloriveraalvarado6351]

legend

[@buuh7592]

im confused.. if the goal is to add the less mass possible, then why add the grenadier blue and then the red on top of it in those parts? loved the video tho! very relaxing

[@iMadrid11]

They still need to showcase the Ineos team colors and Pinarello Dogma brand on television. So the colorway is necessary to make their bike standout from the peloton.

[@TheGrabbersOfficial]

@@iMadrid11 I think it’s less about why paint the frame in the first place but more about: why give it a base layer of grenadier blue at the front end if you can just mask it and apply the red paint immediately if you want to save weight

[@2Hobbies]

Why wasn't it clear-coated after the decals were applied instead of before?

[@emmanuelmartin4712]

I wonder the same thing, I saw another Pinarello built where they used the same technique…

this is why no mortal can afford them! I see

[@troycollett8540]

Ah so pinarello don’t paint the frames

[@INEOSGrenadiers]

No Pinarello still paint our frames. SPT get involved in helping to reduce mass in certain scenarios but Pinarello paint our bikes including Ganna's special blue TT bike and Carapaz's Olympic gold this year 😍

[@marcocasamassima389]

When I see these videos I feel really sad. I feel very sad as Italian as well because this video shows how low this market has gone, and with it we have lost the original Italian bike manufacturing tradition. An high cost frame, made in Asia, with low-cost manufacturing, where the "added value" is a "super special" paint coating. Fellow cyclists PLEASE wake up! PLEASE! With your money you decide, please decide consciously and don't get caught by the white colors, clean surfaces and tricky marketing.

[@philipaddyman7402]

hai pienamente ragione!

[@Vjhuh]

you're right, Marco. And we couldn't see what so special was here in painting. For objectiveness: All bike brands now make carbon frames in Asia. The frame producion consists not only from straight production costs. For example mold cost goes from $10.000 each size... Development cost, at lease to pay one designer and engineer. Plus marketing. And there we go: all big brand are 90% marketing now, any brand, you name it. We just have to admit one simple thing: we live in the age of cocumerizm.

[@adamosman848]

So pinarello just do the painting right, the frames were built in China

[@raphaeltiziani7476]

as every other frame today. Dont see any issue in this.

[@adamosman848]

@@raphaeltiziani7476 just pity customers who think 'made in Italy' logo is real

[@RedNeckBiker109]

As a matter of interest, how many cyclists have thrown their bikes down in disgust because the paint was too thick?
