How to Prepare Your Bike for a Custom Paint Job

A high-quality paint job starts with proper preparation. While DMV Bicycle Painting handles all technical work, there are a few simple steps you can take before sending your frame in.

Remove Accessories and Components

Before painting begins, the frame must be completely bare.

Clean the Frame

A basic wipe-down removes dirt and grease, so our team can begin inspection.

Inspect for Damage

Look for dents, cracks, or rust. We can advise you if anything is concerning.

Communicate Your Vision

Share your preferences for color, finish, decals, or design placement.

Why Preparation Matters

Good preparation ensures faster turnaround and proper paint adhesion.
