Like the title says post your diy sprayjob and description how you did it so People can learn about it. :D

can of primer, 2 cans of colour, can of top coat (one part, the cheap kind). All from local diy store. cost me, idk, 25 eur.
My conclusion: i should have ordered black from the factory and called it a day.
-
Blue is Dynamic Blue Metallic from GMC
Purple is Digital Violet from Aston Martin
Both are covered in 2K Clear except where the the blue frame is matte black.

On the pic it doesn’t look bad at all!
What is the problem?

The purple looks great did you have also polish it after the 2k vanish?

This was a very long project I did twice after the first one turned out badly. etoe on YouTube was great.
The full steps after lots of experiments.
Sanding
2K primer, 2 coats
Sanding
Colour, 3 coats
2K Clearcoat, 3 coats
Sanding
Polishing
It took many days, so much sanding, the spraying was the easy part, the sanding took ages.
It turned out good, I love the colour but there are some dust specks in the clear and some marks. Ended up spending £300 on painting supplies... but I learned all about spray painting so it was valuable.

Very close, I wanted British Racing Green but it was very difficult to get a good quality can, I tested a few and they were all pretty bad quality.
Ended up going with Mipa Ral 6005 Moss Green which is the closes match without going for a custom can.
The clear coat really brings the shine, its SprayMax 2K Gloss clear.

Here's a photo and video of one of my paint jobs: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/V-t9kH_zGyU
The frame is a Winspace SLC 2.0 and stem is S-Works SL. The frame started out life in the Superlight Black colorway, this was the process:
Frame:
- Sand to bare carbon
- Transparent adhesion promoter with a faint silver sparkle
- Candy Black from Specialist Paints
- White fade base is Dolomite from Montana Cans
- Snow White Pearl from Specialist Paints over the Montana Dolomite
- Clear intercoat/Wet sand
- Decals are painted on with Ford Champagne Gold
- 2k clear coat/Wet sand
- More 2k clear coat
- Wet sand until smooth
- Cut and polish with orbital buffer
Fork:
- Sand to bare carbon
- Adhesion promoter
- Montana Shock Black
- Alcohol ink job with Tim Holtz alcohol inks and 99 iso
- 2k clear (lots of it due to the alcohol ink texture)/Wet sand until smooth
- Montana Dolomite white base/Specialist Paints Snow White Pearl
- 2k clear/wet sand/cut and buff
Will post a couple more paint jobs when I get a chance. :)

;D Thanks for the follow.
Yes, it's a type of transparent primer. The can I used for this frame is from Spray Max. I wanted to be able to see the raw carbon through the candy black, so a transparent primer was needed. I got the idea from the Rokit Props Youtube channel, he has a series detailing some great paintwork on a Winspace T1300.
Tbh you can only really see the candy black/raw carbon effect in perfect lighting, lol. It just looks like black paint from a distance.

VeloBuild 168
I wanted to pay homage to the artist Joshua Vides with his cartoon/comic book effect.
3 coats of Honda Championship White 8)
2 coats of Dupli-Color Clear Effex
2 coats of 2K clear coat
So the black isn't paint. It's actually just reverse paint reveal. I covered up the raw finish with letter decals to reveal frame underneath after the coats of white paint dried.

Here's a couple more paint jobs I've done!
First one is not a road bike, but still a custom paint job. ;D
I painted this helmet for my girlfriend. Painted with alcohol inks on a white base. Finished with regular 1k clear and wet sanded and buffed.
The bike is my old Velobuild 177. I can't quite remember, but I don't think I used any primer on this one...just scuffed up the original finish (probably 600 grit) and went to town on it.
The frame is painted with Spray.Bike Frame Builder's Copper. For the matte finish I applied a couple thin coats of matte 2k clear coat, lightly sanded to smooth everything out, then applied a final thin matte 2k coat.
The fork is painted with Montana Anthracite, finished with 2k clear and wet sanded/buffed.
The bars are The One Pro, repainted in black, finished with 2k clear and wet sanded/buffed.
My cousin now rides this bike built up with Rival XPLR. We're currently working on repainting it, updates coming soon. ;D ;D
-
I painted my Carbonda CFR707 with Montana cans over a 2k primer, followed by a 2k clearcoat. Lots of sanding in between.
It was supposed to be dark blue, but it ended up rather purple.
It hasn't held up all that well - there are quite a few chips. I probably should have used coarser sandpaper between coats to give better adhesion.

Like the title says post your diy sprayjob and description how you did it so People can learn about it. :D
Here is a few. The Master I only fixed a couple chips. Luckily for me they were only on the black areas so it was easily blocked out and blended. I think all the colors on the bikes are hand mixed by "feel" and NOT according to a chart. All decals designed and printed using photoshop and applied or painted myself.

That Bob Jackson bike is a work of art. I really dig the chrome lugs and the finishing kit. Love the Elite tubulars. Also the Moser is mint! I love the drilled brake levers and white bar tape.

Thank you. The Bob Jackson is special to me. While was restoring it I met a person that was working for them during the late1970 when mine was being built, which also is when I was born. I have upwards of 20K kms on each of them now and still look great.
