Rob Leech Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 How do all, made an alteration to my frame recently, so did a bit of a re-spray last week using a new paint to our supplier. I'm quite giddy when looking at it still as it's just too damn cool! But anyways, let me know what you think. Cheers all, Josh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumoSam Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 That's very different, but very nice. Kind of reminds me when you see oil in water on the road... maybe its just me. Anyway, nice bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24martin Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 that looks so nice how much would it cost to send a frame up to you and have it painted with that stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thehiphopsolidier Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Really nice but I'm pretty tired of that color shift, ther many other less expensive paint that provides a more unique color shifting. My old bmx fork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Frame looks great! Would it be too far to do the forks too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsIsHard Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I was thinking about this effect last week, I always thought it was to do with the heat treating of the frame? Or is it just a coat that you can put on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thehiphopsolidier Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Do you know the price of the coating on jaf frames? You mean paint. It depends on the brand and the amount of paint.Ask around with various painters in your area so you can get a price but somewhere around 50-300 Pounds.

JD™ Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 I think the point was that you don't know how much it cost on this frame, so you can't say 'less expensive' without knowing that vital information. The paint (which happens to coat the metal and as such is also a coating) isn't really my thing personally, but I can't deny it's pimp and different, good job!

To quote josh on Facebook... 'This would be an extra £25 on top of any frame order'. Now I don't know if this is on top of the cost of a painted frame or just the cost to have a bare frame finished like that. Still incredibly cheap given the work involved. Not to bad, ehy.

Rob Leech Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) OK, so exactly how much did this exact paint job cost Josh to do? Before it starts any arguments, I get the paint for £20 (1/10 of a litre), it's the elbow grease that goes into doing the preping and actually spraying that is the main cost . I know what it is, I sell the stuff and paint the stuff day in day out. To quote josh on Facebook... 'This would be an extra £25 on top of any frame order'. Now I don't know if this is on top of the cost of a painted frame or just the cost to have a bare frame finished like that. Still incredibly cheap given the work involved. Not to bad, ehy. This is mainly as I'd be painting the frame with something anyways, so if the customer wants to pay for the paint and the extra time, it's their choice to do so or not . Actual cost of spraying a frame (any frame that is) in this would be £75. That includes stripping, primer, base coat, mid coat (this effect), lacquer, any finishing required and return postage to the customer . Cheers all, Josh. Edit - and the guy above is right, there are soooooo many different paints out there that are similar to this and completely different to anything seen in the cycling world, but I simply can't show them all on a part as it would cost me liturally thousands to do it . So if anyone's interested in other effective paint, pop me a message and I'll show some of the examples I have found that I can get hold of . Edit 2 - also, sorry to tom and the other moderators as this has just become an advertisement, which is not what I intended it to be, so I'd fully understand if things need to be taken out of here .

Rusevelt Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) I'm guessing that coating gives a deeper finish like this Eastern frame? Edited May 8, 2013 by Rusevelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Leech Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Does the daylight affect the colours in the same way as this? Yes, different angles of light bring out different colours in the paint. Not sure how it works (I'm guessing some sort of metal additives that sit at different levels in the paint layer), but the guy above may well know .

Sorry, that wasn't meant to make you bring out your costs in public - it was just meant to prove the point that the guy didn't know how much it cost you to do this particular job as you may have been given the paint, or paid £1000 for it because you didn't know any better.
