- Recently I was doing some reading on rattle-canning a bike frame, trying to figure out if I should bake the frame after spraying. I'm still not sure but I've decided NOT to. Some people commented that the header paint (and probably BBQ paint) ends up getting baked in use (hey, i think that's happened to me! getting baked in use.....)
ANYWAY, since a bike frame does not normally get baked in use, I think you would have to figure out how to bake those paints. I've opted for the PRO Rusteloum.

To the OP ~ I rattled canned a flat black a few years ago, left the tiny bits of shiny that I could. I sold the frame & fork as they were too small for me and my son got to big for the bike!
I'm experimenting right now with spay painting over a powder coat. I dunno.... we'll see.

Here's a few snap shots of the one from a few years ago. It had been brush painted yellow. Really bad.
