Hi, does anyone here used spray.bike on a steel frame? Any good? Long term?

    I used it on an aluminium frame.

    Completely stripped original paint off, cleaned and first used the primer, then painted needed about 1.5 cans from memory. I did put a lot of time in preparing the frame properly but it paid off

    Have to say got really good results - even coating with no runs, and paint was quite robust (not as good as the original) but resistant to knocks, dirt etc

    Experience of doing the same with a rattle can 30 years ago made me nervous of what I'd end up with but the results were orders of magnitude better

    I'd use again no question

    Horrible powdery rubbish finish stuff unless you stick a load of clear over the top.

    I've seen a few bikes done with it and they look and feel terrible. I got a better finish with the cheapest aerosols I could find (£7 a can)
