Title: Where can I get my generic Chinese frame a cool paint job?
Post by: ChinaCruz on May 19, 2019, 09:25:08 AM

I got one of the gloss black frames. It has no soul. Where can I get something like this and how much?

Most sellers provide a paint service $70-90 when you order your frame.

But if you have it already. I made some wood(MDF) furniture, and brought them to a small company here in Belgium to make them paint.
Then I asked if they would paint carbon frames too, they said sure no problem, and for about 100€. I didn't try yet.
All this to say that you can widen your search to any painter: furniture,motorbike,cars, and if you're luck and fall on an artist, great !

you could also look at wraps, this will protect the frame as well.

Those wraps look interesting.

My friend is the artist at Cycology, Sarina. She does fantastic stuff. The wraps are done by another local company but it doesn't appear as though any of the standard 2 sheet MTB wraps have a head tube piece but I could be wrong.

 Dyedbro.com has some pretty cool frame protection. It's what I went with instead of paint.

This guy has some diy videos with standard wrap. I might settle on this.

 Pretty much any auto paint shop will do it. And do it better.
