  • hey guys.. how long the painting process take times? please response :)

  • @dvnsm14 like 5-6 days

  • Hey guys, what's the bike looking like now? As far as the paint job, is it holding up pretty well? Just curious to know if it the paintjob still looks nice.

  • @Xcokedav096 Yeah. It's actually doing surprisingly well. Been out in rain and stuff and that doesn't affect it. Just a few chips of paint missing where I attach the lock, and some from when my roommate wrecked riding it. Jackass

  • when using paint striper do you have to sand fully or do you just spray on

  • @shadowfixed101 just spray it. I only sanded cuz i didnt think the stripper would would.

  • This whole series, especially the first, really made me smile.

    It's great to see someone else who takes the "figure it out as you go" approach and make the exact kind of mistakes and using the same bodging methods I would use and getting a good result.

    Brilliant video, great to watch.

    Thanks.

  • This is such a great video - it's nice to see a "we-can't-take-the-bottom-brac­ket-so-oh-well" approach, rather than the usual "YOU MUST DO THIS PERFECTLY OR YOU WILL DIE"

see all
