@dankeroner . Well, it's the old seat post. I drilled a hole in it so i could hang it up, and get access to the entire bike all at once. This makes spraying easier.
As for the bottom bracket, it was masked off right up to this coat, but i decided to hit it with another coat of color and forgot to put the bungs back in. No matter though, it can be carefully scraped out after it's dry, so it's aaaaalllllll goooooooooood buddy.

hey man. My dad and me are making a fixie for me and were going with a black paint with white lugs.
were having some trouble with painting the frame without hitting the lugs. should we just paint it and hand paint the lugs? sorry if its an unclear question, i tried to word it the best i can!

@tomdmcpwn i think if it were mine, i would spray the frame black first. You could then try white enamel paint, and a nice new small brush, with good quality bristles.
Other wise its a case of trying to mask off the frame with masking tape and a sharp scalpel, and then spraying white. A fiddly job. It depends on how ornate the lugs are i guess. Let me know how you get on!

Hi. Impressive demo. Best I've seen on the net. I've built my own frame and would like to go all the way and spray it as well. I dont though have any extraction facilities. How about doing it in the open air say the garden? Thanks

@ukdodger maybe not the garden!!!
Get a decent mask, like a p2 or even p3 rated dust vapor mask, and go to the shed?

was the original colour red? and what would be a good tip to keep the coat even?

@youwitdaface69 no it wasn't red! It was white and blue. Even coats can be achieved by keeping the can moving at all times at a smooth steady pace. dont ever stop moving the can whilst spraying cos you missed a bit. This will just cause a drip or run, and that is a bugger. Just keep moving and get it on the next pass.
