BMX Bike Restoration

My friend found a BMX bicycle at a garage sale for $8. This was a bargain, so he selected it. The bike worked really, nonetheless it ended up being positively in need of care. The earlier proprietors had attempted to paint it, but did a terrible job. For one thing, they didn't disassemble and on occasion even mask down components of the cycle, therefore every thing had over-spray about it. In addition, they put the paint on therefore dense it never ever cured properly together with works every where. It absolutely was clear we would have to give this bicycle some TLC.

Our very first work in restoring the cycle is re-painting it. We enlisted the help of several sheets of sandpaper and lots of days to eliminate the old paint. After that, we hit it with a pleasant, even layer of primer, to avoid corrosion and offer a surface when it comes to brand-new paint to relationship to. We used 4 cans of genuine Orange spray paint to provide the bike a fresh rent on life. Aside from the four cans of paint, we used a whole might of obvious coat to guard the paint and make it final.
