A bicycle spray paint job can transform even the most familiar bike into something that feels brand new. Whether you want a subtle colour refresh, a full frame respray or a custom design inspired by your own ideas, professional bicycle spray painting brings new life to a frame. At The Custom Bicycle Company we prepare, mask and paint each frame by hand so you get a finish that looks premium, lasts longer and reflects your personality rather than factory standard.
​
We spray paint individual frames, full builds, restoration projects and brand new bikes before they are assembled for the first time. You can choose gloss, matte, colour fade, metallic pearl or full artwork depending on style. Even if you are unsure of colours we guide design and help you choose something unique.
​
Spray painting is not just paint. It is renewal.
Why riders choose bicycle spray painting
A spray painted frame looks cleaner, sharper and more individual than stock production finishes. Factory paint only offers a handful of colours but bicycle spray painting allows you to choose something personal. Repainting also restores tired frames, removes years of scuffs and can revive bikes that still ride beautifully but no longer inspire visually.
​
Riders choose spray painting for:
​
• full colour change or modern refresh
• repairing chips, wear and ageing paint
• building a bike that reflects personal taste
• matching component colour for build unity
• upgrading style without buying a new bike
​
A spray painted bicycle can feel like a new machine without the cost of replacing it.
Professional bicycle spray painting process
Good paint starts with preparation. Frames are stripped, cleaned and prepped so new paint adheres correctly and lasts season after season. The spraying process is controlled, layered carefully and completed with a clear coat for depth and protection.
​
The usual process:
​
-
Initial discussion and style direction
-
Full strip and frame preparation
-
Priming and base colour application
-
Spray painting details or artwork
-
Clear coat
-
Sanding / flatting back
-
Final clear coat
-
Cure, wet sanding, polish, rebuild and return
Spray painting usually requires four to five weeks depending on detail level. Small refinishes can be quicker while multi layer artwork may take longer. We update you throughout the process so you always know progress.
​
Spray painting is art as much as craft.
Bicycle spray painting for carbon, steel, aluminium and titanium
Different frame materials need different approaches. We prepare each material properly so the final finish is smooth, durable and safe. Carbon is sanded and cured carefully. Steel is treated to prevent corrosion. Aluminium is primed correctly for adhesion. Titanium can be painted, accented or combined with raw sections.
​
We spray paint:
​
• road frames
• mountain bikes
• gravel and adventure bikes
• e bikes
• forks, bars and small parts if requested
​
Paint cost usually starts at around £1000 depending on complexity and masking. Full artwork may cost more. You can also add rebuild service so your bike returns complete instead of boxed.
​
Your bicycle should look like no one else’s. Spray paint makes that possible.
