This is what you can do with a brush, a can of paint, or two and a set of decals - Peugeot PX10...



The question is Should I Paint My Bicycle? and if so, this is how I go about it.

Rattle Can Legnano...



BAKE THE PAINT For anyone interested, I learned how to bake paint the easy way. Get a bicycle cardboard box and rattle can it flat black. Set the box up so that you can hang the frame set inside (make door in side of box that you can close, kinda sorta).

Now, ensuring that the box can't fall over, put it outside and let the sun bake the black box and frame inside. Really speeds up the hardening process.
