I have my sons old bike which is on a 16" wheel which I want to hand over to my 4 yr old daughter, but she wants it pink.

Any advice on spray painting, other than sanding, primer, etc etc

Cheers

Kwack

De-grease "thoroughly".

I have recently done this for my , but I took it to a local "powder coater", who for £40 did the job properly and it loks fantastic. His is a 24" bike, so you might find someone who would do it cheaply and without the stress..... 😉

Wear old clothes/shoes...the overspray will drift backwards as well as forwards. 😉

No need to sand/prime, just clean & get a "key".

I wouldn't spend too much time on it as IEM it's impossible to get a durable finish and the kids will scratch it!
