The problems you had at disassembly was laughable but made me aware of the bike I just purchased. A 1982 atala, now seized seat posts are my nightmare, even though I heard previous owner offer to lower seat for me to test ride. Work stand comes on Monday so I guess we will see
Great idea for the paint job. Couple of comments; the Raleigh logo can be cut in permanent vinyl and stuck to the fame before the final clear coat. I have done this several times and it looks much crisper than the painted efforts especially if there are fine lines. Painting big blocky logos is ok with removable vinyl but sometimes the paint bleeds under the edge of the vinyl if the paint goes on thick which spray.bike paint tends to as you have to spray from only 4 to 8cm away. Try a 2k epoxy clear coat e.g. Spraymax, it dries way harder than spray.bike and will seal in your vinyl logos. I sometimes add custom printed vinyl decals that I make using an inkjet printer and the cricut using print and cut; the two part epoxy clear coat seals those in as well so they don’t run. Finally, it really is best to spend the time taking the entire frame down to bare metal as it ensures any and all rust is gone before priming. For my last build I have switched to a 2k epoxy primer as well, dries rock hard - again Spraymax. Having said all that I love the artwork - and the splatter.
You should paint with a little more of distance to the frame, and give more fast shoots with the spray bottle, you do that so close and it generate drops. have a nice day.
Hey Jesús thanks for the comment! I used AKA line writers paint for this build that’s reasonably low pressure compared to a lot of spray paint and the nozzle has a very small narrow fire. In a lot of cases I would agree with you but with this paint if I was any further away I’d miss! Haha and I had no drips in this paint. Thanks for watching!!
That paint job is nuts. Love it.
Thank you!! It took ages 🤣🤣🤣
Nice work... both the paint and video.
Cheers Joe!!
That waveywheels paint job was my inspiration as well! :)

I remember a Raleigh was very common,as kids so many of us had them!But now 🙁🙁🙁
I had at least one maybe two!!
I might have missed, but the cartoon stencils, I like that. From where did you source them? Nice. I like the black spatters, too.
Hey man, pretty sure that’s a Raleigh pro race or similar Reynolds 501 tubing
Wow! I think you’re right!! That’s done my head in for a very long time!! So I was well off. It’s 1990.
@@2NDLIFEBIKES can put your mind at rest now hey!! 😁 I’ve had a couple of them over the years and they always made nice bikes!
👏👏👏👏
Thank you 🙏🏼
Genial

A bigger softer
wire wheel in a power drill will get the last of the paint off.
