Spraypainting my CREATE: The result!

It turned out much better than I had expected.

Even if the paint will go to **** in a week, It'll look better than it did before haha!


I used Henx paint btw, if anyone's interested.

Do's and dont's for others who might want to do this
DO:
- Put down a large piece of plastic
- Put down newspapers when you're going to spray
- Wait between layers of paint
- Keep distance from bike and spraycan
- Wait at least 24h before riding the newly sprayed bike, even after the drying period. I waited 36 hours myself
- Buy a paint mask, otherwise you'll get lightheaded really quickly
- Spray in a well ventilated, but not too windy area

DONT:
- Scrap off all your paint, looking back on the project I might aswell have painted over the paint I already had on there. It was a lot of work to scrap off all the paint, even after applying paint stripper.
- Buy a CREATE bike.
- Buy a bike you don't like the colors off
