I call bulls**t on this too. We all know that's an impossible promise to keep.

Reminds me of that thread with the track bike chopped up in a bin.

letsthrowfries

Wasn't that a keirin frame from the keirin fixation thread?


Anyways, this thread was a ray of sunlight in my otherwise cloudy day; I was dying of laughter when I clicked those hyperlinks.

To raise spirits.
My first paint job, with the mistake of not practicing on something else first, and being baked out of my mind for the whole job.
Sorry I don't have a before, it was a brown (**** BROWN, not a nice pretty Champagne) Univega.

It's pretty simple, you really just have to tone down on the ******* factor.

Fork is gloss black, rest of bike is flat black. This had to be an accident otherwise it would indicate thought was possible by the OP. Most likely he simply picked up two cans at the store and didn't bother to read the can or even compare the shiny versus the flat black of the caps.

Why do trolls love abuse so much?

i'm sorry but painting without taking the bike apart is just st00pid

Go, Rob! What paint is that?

lanOGiro

uhhhh... I think it was a bad idea to paint it still intact. You should have 1) Taken it apart 2) Not painted the lube-sensitive chain 3) left the cahinrind alone so you don't get paint all over your shoes/pants/socks 4) sanded and primed it 5) LEFT IT THE **** ALONE!!!!!

metaljim

he never showed back up. i'm beginning to think that really WAS the centurion he painted.

SHAME ON YOU!

lanOGiro

+1 Indeed!

Rob Glatfelter

Just your standard fare ace variety paints.
I didn't properly prime or finish it, mistakes I learned from for the new job I'm about to do on it as I convert it.
That one chipped quite a bit just from impacts with my lock, hopefully this one will hold up better.

jimisnowhere

Five bucks says he painted only one side of the bike too.

Danolink

Yea maybe he should think about quiting the booze, Looks like he has a major decision making problem.

I'm with you on this one, who cares what the bike gods say. It's your bike, your life, your creation. Be happy with it, and just get out and ride.

Elderberry

As it's been previously noted, had the OP used his afternoon to do this, all this could have been avoided.

This is the funniest thing i have ever seen

You should get out more.

capolover

Just don't ride with a bandana wrapped around your face. You might pass out in the heat and die.

nelzar13

two tone rear spokes it looks like he just spun the wheel to paint the rim and got the first two inches of the spokes with black! SWEET!

guggles

you guy's?
i think this is pretty obvious, no one would paint a nice bike like that, as crappy as he did.
this bike is STOLEN and the paint is a quick cover up, so the bike would not be noticeable.
duh.

ajyoung85

as a vintage ss conversion owner, i am puzzled and disappointed by the popular trends in fixie/ss paint jobs today...especially on frames that begin in such good condition as this one did.

imoscardotcom

hahahahaha, he did straight up hosed the entire thing.

probably the worst paint job i've ever seen.

OP, please post another photo in like a week when the paint on all of the moving parts and contact points have chipped away and it looks like it belongs in a landfill (as if it already doesn't)

imoscardotcom

HOWEVER, you'll never have to worry about it getting stolen. Even a crackhead wouldn't want that

The PBR proves its a joke.
