Spray painting the bikes 

With an HVLP spray gun or other, you can paint better and more economically !

Here are the offers of bike paint professional polyester version, packaged in a can for spray application, intended for use with a spray gun, and selected especially for bike customization. These are therefore the same products used by the body painter, which can be applied to the frame and fork of a bicycle if you have a paint gun and an air compressor.

Like fairing or bodywork paints, « cycling » paint must be fine, flexible and resistant. These are multi-layer systems.

Identical to that of the bodywork, a precise system of multiple thin coats is used, from the base to the varnish, which will create depth, adhesion and resistance: Primer - 1K basecoat - varnish.

Yes, there are finishes that are applied in a single step (1K paint or matt lacquer), but we are interested here in effect paints exclusively.

Bike paint with a spray gun

Fans of custom paints and other applied effect paints have found a fantastic playground with the world of cycling.

Custom is the art of personalization that combines technical and artistic specialties. Our colors offer the greatest possibilities for customisation, with the largest family of special paints in the world, available directly from the manufacturer. The combinations are infinite with certain paint effects, such as Candy or Chameleon, which can be applied and combined.

For those who are thinking about customising their bike paint and taking their old paint gun out of the garage, there are more discreet and classic finishes, such as metallic or chrome colors, or more exotic coatings, such as phosphorescent paint .

The tubular surfaces of a bicycle frame are limited but have the advantage of being able to show different angles and curves, revealing the pearlescent and color-changing effects of chameleon, candy or holographic effect colors.

Consumption of paints packaged in cans

How to spray paint a bike in the right way

Study and understand the instructions for each paint.

Use a small or large spray gun, and adjust the spray size to the minimum.

Keep a distance of 25cm from the support and always keep moving.

Keep your wrist flexible and mobile to follow the contours of the tubes, so as to spray at a 90° angle, and never with a grazing paint.

Carry out all the painting steps in sequence (<30min between each product) to promote cohesion between coats.
