Spray.bike Transparent Finish Gloss

If you have decided to paint your bike with a new color, you are probably looking for a special transparent finish to give it an even more professional look. This spray can allows you to give your bike a new protective layer on top of the paint. Depending on the layers you spray on your frame you will get one finish or another, for example: with one coat of the transparent finish you will end up with a satin finish, with two coats you will make it glossy and with three coats it will look like a lacquer.

Remember to leave at least two hours for a complete dry between coats to get an optimal result. And now, some tips for you to spray-paint your bike in complete safety and so that the result is the best possible.

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.
