Painting Options

Powder Coating

Cheaper than spray painting still a very good option to use with 200 colour options including metallic & pearlescent finishes.Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The main difference between a conventional liquid paint and a powder coating is that the powder coating does not require a solvent to keep the binder and filler parts in a liquid suspension form. The coating is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin". The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.I take all my powder coating projects to a reputable business in Thomastown, these guys have been operating for over 30 years with 3 generations of the family now working together in their workshop it truly is an inspiration to see the finished product. A most popular choice & used by many in the Melbourne bike fraternity wanting to repaint a bike without blowing a hole in their pocket

Spray Painting

With 1000’s of colour options, effects & finishes available on the market the sky really is the limit when it comes to choosing a colour. I always take all my spray painting projects to a good friend of mine in Point Cook who’s a magician with a spray gun. He has over 12 years of experience working at Ford & Porsche as their top painter before finally deciding his painting days on cars was over & bike painting was his passion instead. He’s now fastly becoming Melbourne’s most popular bike sprayer being used by most of the best bike shops in town. What a legend.

Coloured Parts Options

Wheelsets,handlebars, seatposts,cranks, pedals ,tyres, brakes, chains etc etc I can go on. With a wider option of coloured parts now available on the market you can accessorize your bike to your personel style & budget. Just adding a few coloured parts can give your ride a completely radical & fresh look & remember no one else will have the same looking bike as yours.
