Painted my stem thermochrome black. This is the video, as I cannot do it otherwise on my phone.

Nice it's more like art than commercial graffix but it is not so flashy that you wouldn't want to get it dirty.

Spray paint tips? Warm your cans in warm to hot water for ten minutes before painting and no point and shoot,Start your spray before moving over object being painted, thats all I know besides thorough prep and cleaning before painting. Oh yeah if you paint a coat of white before your color it will make color pop more.

Also, to add what slaker said, if your painting in your garage for example, make sure the air temperature is around 73 degrees F..Having the paint and air temp warm allow the paint to flow better. Start with a couple of light coats, sand any imperfections with 320 wet, and sand Lightly, then apply a heavier coat, so there is complete coverage, again sand any imperfections, i.e. runs, fish eyes, ect, If you plan on adding a clear coat, Lightly wet sand with 600 wet. Take your time, and apply smooth even coats. If you get and imperfections on the clear coat, you can lightly sand with 800 wet, then allow the clear to completely cure, then you can buff it out if you wish.

I use to paint custom cars and bikes, I painted all my roadrace motorcycles with krylon. There's a couple of examples in my profile.

PPG does a very good job at an online manual to give the basics and a quality list of products to use. Give that a read through if you want to do it up right.

Polished the front of the frame, as well as the brake, then put some orange permanent marker on the brake lever, which I then cleared over for a candy finish. Pedals used to be fluo pink and then I decided to space them out a bit. They now have a perfect, glossy finish. The stem used to change colors, black when its cold and then turned transparent, or orange, when it got warm outside. The orange went better with the rims, though.

I got jipped and got the 15 trek slash and not the 2016 slash with the super cool purple frame. I thought i could add some spunk to my frame by coloring the teal letters and graphics purple. Anybody have any xp doing something like this? I was thinking about a purple industrial sharpi or paint pen and clear taping over the top. Or no clear tape and let the ink wear away over time, that might look kind of cool.

Anyways, would love to here some experience and what products would be good. Thanks!!

You could also gold leaf the TREK, I think it'll look fawncy, then just add a black accent to the letters and you've got yourself a winner!
