This vintage bicycle was stored away in a garage and left untouched for many years. With a few coats of Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Protective Enamel spray and some new accessories, the bicycle was given a makeover and a new purpose. You will find the full range of Rust-Oleum spray paint products at Builders Warehouse.
YOU WILL NEED:
Rust-Oleum Stop Rust Protective Enamel spray - Sunburst Yellow
Old bicycle or anything old you want to renew
Sponge or cloths and an old towel
Bucket of soapy water
Masking tape
Wire brush
DDrop Cloth
Gloves
HERE'S HOW:
1. Put down a drop cloth where you will be working, either outdoors or in a well-ventilated space.
2. Use the wire brush to remove any rust or loose or flaking paint from all the metal on the bicycle.
3. Wash with soapy water and then wipe dry. Let it air dry for an hour or two before you start.
4. Mask off any areas of the bike that you don't want to paint. Larger areas can be covered with newspaper.
5. Shake the can well for a minute to ensure the contents are properly mixed.
6. Spray the bicycle with a steady back-and-forth / side-to-side motion. Only spray on light even coats and hold the can about 30cm away from the surface. Be sure to let each coat dry before applying the next coat. You will probably need to apply 2-3 coats for proper coverage.
Let the final coat dry completely for an hour or so. Now your bicycle has a new look and is ready for some brand new accessories.
