Not sure where I should post this, but Can somebody give me an idea of how much will it cost to wrap this toddler bike in Matt black?
I am looking to matt the main frame only (the painted red part), leaving the front Y spoke and handle bar the way it is.

If Wrapping it cost too much, can you suggest the cheapest way? should I just spray paint it?

I've gotten this bike for free, but it is very beat up in the paint department.

Thanks in advance

I say just buy some plasti-dip and spray it yourself. Take off the wheels and seats and have your go at it. I mean, you can also PM some of the RS sponsors and see if someone is willing to spare some time for a weekend project with leftover material.

Plasti-dip? I've heard, but never worked with. May have to learn how to do this on youtube ... I don't mind DIY if its easy enough

it's basically a can of spray paint. After you apply it if you want to rip it off it comes off like a piece of plastic film.

Plastic Dip for sure
Cheapest & easiest way.
Good protection, too.

Home Depot or CT have few color choices
YouTube DIY.

I'd say definitely go with Plastidip. You could pretty easily get some small vinyl wrap pieces and do it yourself, but with something that shape you'd have tons of cuts and seams. A few coats of PlastiDip would go on easy and quickly. And I doubt his toddler friends would call him a poser for using it.

craigslist. for some cheap black cans. Super easy. If it looks like shit. Just plasti dip over it again. Ive had a couple gouges on my plasti dip. Gave it another coat and gouges were gone.

Good price if white is an option.. plus you'll have plenty for touchups when the bike is dropped.
