You need to sand the bike and then spray paint it with Auto Body paint. (You can buy this at Auto shops.)
This paint is smells a lot, so spray your bike outside.
Auto body paint is very durable and made for metal. If it can stay on a car, it will stay on your bike.I spray painted my bike but i can scratch it with my nail?
Your best bet is obviously to have it professionally painted. Powder coating looks great!
But if you can't afford it and want to paint it yourself:
DO NOT SPRAY PAINT YOUR BIKE!
DON'T TRY TO SAND IT because you will just mess it up. Clean it really good and then paint over the factory paint.
If you tried to paint it already and messed up buy chemical paint stripper from the hardware store and strip the bad paint job off.
Buy 1SHOT paint (You can buy this at any art supply store.) and hang your bike frame from a hook then paint your bike frame with a brush for the best DIY paint job.
2 coats of 1 shot with 24 hours between coats then wait 42 hours before riding your bike.
1Shot comes in tons of colors and can be prepped for a glossy or matte finish.
It will get pretty hard and you won't have to worry about chipping or peeling.
what you should do is sand the bike first with some fine grit sand paper like 200 or 400 grit. that way with the frame scuffed up the paint will be able to stick better to the frame...the clear coat wont need to be sanded.
It just hasn't hardened. It depends on the qualities of the clear coat you are using as to its scratch resistance.
fine sand paper
you should have sanded it first.
u needed to sand and prime it before paint then clear coat after the paint is dry to the touch
u should have sanded it then primed it so the paint would stick
