I love riding my BMX bike, and I know a lot of you do too. In this post, I’m going to teach you how to paint your BMX bike so it looks amazing. This process is not difficult, but it does require patience and precision.
Follow these steps and you’ll have an incredible-looking bike in no time. Here are the proper steps that help us paint a BMX bike in a proper way.
Decide what color you want the bike
The first step is to decide what color you want your bike. This may seem like an easy task, but it’s quite difficult. There are so many different colors and shades to choose from, and you need to decide which one will look best on your bike.
Buy the spray paint
Once you know what color you want the bike, you need to buy the spray paint. Make sure you get the right type of paint for the job. You don’t want to use regular paint, as it won’t adhere properly to the bike and it will be very difficult to remove if you make a mistake.
Take your bike apart
Now it’s time to take your bike apart. You need to remove all of the parts that you don’t want to paint. This includes the seat, pedals, handlebars, and anything else that isn’t going to be painted.
Mask off the parts you don’t want to paint
Once everything is removed, you need to mask off the parts you don’t want to paint. This is important, as you don’t want to get paint on these parts. Use painter’s tape or something similar so you can easily remove it later.
Start painting
Now it’s time to start painting! Begin by painting the frame of the bike. Make sure you get good coverage and don’t miss any spots. Once the frame is done, move on to the other parts of the bike. Be careful not to get paint on the masked-off areas.
Let the paint dry
Once you’re done painting, let the paint dry. This usually takes a few hours, but it depends on the type of paint you used.
Paint again
After the paint is dry, you can start painting again. This time, you’re going to use a different color. Choose a contrasting color so it will look good with the first one
Once you’re done painting, let the paint dry. This usually takes a few hours, but it depends on the type of paint you used.
