Unique
Spray.Bike is the
first DIY paint range for the bicycle market. It's been specifically developed for painting bikes.
Spray.Bike is bicycle specific because weve designed the paint to:
- Adhere to curved non-porous surfaces
- Bond well on raw metal, carbon or factory paint
- Provide a consistent surface application on curved and angled tubing and shapes
- Be hard-wearing, weather (including U.V.) resilient and, of course, scratch resistant.
All this is before we even talk about how easy the paint is to use, that it doesnt dribble etc.
Spray.Bike is a DIY matte dry-fall powder coating in a can.
Spray.Bike is
totally different to existing paint for car metal because of its different ingredients.
Spray.Bike doesnt run or dribble like car paint. Spray.bike is incredibly
easy to control and provides a smooth even matte finish that anyone can achieve with just two
golden rules:- spray at a distance of 5-12cm and
- keep moving your hand whilst doing so! (more about this below).
Basic usage
As
Spray.Bike cans are pressurised, theres an optimum distance at which the paint is effective on leaving the nozzle: 5-12 centimetres. In this €˜window the paint is semi-wet and the pigment is perfectly primed to do its job properly. Under 5 centimetres, faults can occur;
- After 12 or 14 centimetres the paint will have turned into a dry powder dust with little adhesion at all.
- Always move your hand continuously while spraying, as this ensures an even coating.
- Touch-ups can always be done later dont over-apply the paint in a single coat.
- If re-using the paint after storage, test spray first.
- If the paint seems to splatter, replace the nozzle as the existing one is probably clogged.
Spray.Bike paint lasts in its can for up to 10 years, so store upright and below 50°C so it will always be there for scratches and touch-ups.

All
Spray.Bike paints are
CFC-free and
toluene-free, which means that there are
no environmentally harmful or dangerous gases inside. The can is made of nickel, and is therefore
easily recyclable. We source our ingredients for our paint from within the E.U. The paint itself is a
cutting-edge acrylic emulsion polymer. Acrylic emulsions are commonly used in all modern household paints and artists' paints.
Who and whats it for
Painting/personalising/customising a bike is a fun thing to do and a great way for people of all ages to express their creativity. The obvious use is for simple repair or touch-up, but its real possibilities go much further. Our initial range contains
56 colours, which can be used in any combination and in many artistic ways, without professional experience - just a bit of confidence! Weve included lots of
colours familiar within the bike world, perfect for restoration and heritage builds. Previous to
Spray.Bike, individual adventurous bicycle paint-jobs were high-end and unobtainable. Now anybody can create
stencils, fades and shades, team colours for groups and bike gang identity. If customers really dont feel confident to use the product themselves, the most €˜professional painters would be, because of the can, graffiti artists which puts the product
truly in the hands of street culture.
Important Note: Due to these being aerosols, they can only be collected in store.
