It happened on a whim, really. I decided I wanted to paint my bike white over the weekend… just in time for spring and summer bike rides! I was off to pick up some white spray paint when Jordan suggested I use Plasti Dip. I was hesitant to follow his advice, but ended up deciding to try it!

The main reason I chose to use Plasti Dip instead of spray paint was because it’s removable! A little overspray here and there is not a permanent problem at all. For example, I got some of the paint on the kickstand, but was able to rub it right off once I was finished painting. It really was easy to work with! Check back in in another year and I’ll let you know how it’s holding up. 😉

How I Painted the Bike

1. I removed all of the stickers and both tires from the bike. Well, I should give credit to Jordan for removing the tires 😉
2. Next, I covered the handle bars with plastic bags and painters tape.
3. I used white Plasti Dip to paint the bike. I sprayed on one layer at a time, waiting 30 minutes in between. It’s important to start with a light layer at first, and then add thicker coats until the desired coverage is reached. When it was all said and done I ended up painting 5 layers to get full coverage (this took 5 cans of paint).
4. We let the bike dry over night and then Jordan put it all back together for me. Such a sweet hubs!

And of course, I just had to add the eucalyptus and hydrangeas. Can’t wait to ride in style all summer long!
