Spray.bike Metal Plating - Copper

The Spray.bike Metal Plating Copper is the perfect solution for those seeking a unique, high-quality finish for their cycling frames. With a 400ml bottle, you have ample product to paint your entyre bike frame to a beautiful copper colour with a light satin finish.

What sets this product apart from others on the market is its exceptional quality, thanks to a high real metal content of both aluminium and zinc. The result is a hard, durable paint layer that will stand up to the wear and tear of everyday use.

Application is easy the spray can be used directly on existing paints, though for raw metal or carbon surfaces, an appropriate primer spray should be used first. With a drying time of roughly two hours, you'll have your newly painted bike frame ready to ride in no time.

To protect your freshly painted frame from the weather elements, we recommend using the Frame Builder's Transparent Finish on top. However, as a result of the high metal content, we strongly advise the use of a mouth and nose mask during application to ensure your safety.

Instructions for use:

• Ensure surface is clean and dry.
• Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye/face protection.

Spray.Bike is a collaboration between three different companies: Brick Lane Bikes – a major international manufacturer, retailer and wholesaler in the bike industry, based in London. Vicious Cycles Athens – an urban bike workshop in the centre of Athens, Greece. Cosmos Lac – a high-tech paint manufacturer based in Greece.

Spray.Bike was created out of frustration with existing products. if you’re not an experienced pro, metal or car spray paint is so utterly difficult to use on bikes. At VCA, while trying to repair a damaged frame using a standard RAL spray, we were so disappointed with the results that we phoned up the manufacturer, which happened to be Cosmos Lac. “Well what do you want the paint to do?” was the reply. After 2 years of development, Spray.Bike is the answer.

VCA and Cosmos Lac sent samples over to Brick Lane Bikes in London for their highly trusted opinion. From the moment they tried it, they wanted to be part of the excitement too.
