Since the last session in the spray booth, Emma from DELIBERATE, dropped by the workshop to check it out. She was pleased!! The next thing we did was to decide on logo placement. We had played around with a few ideas and Paul at Riparato put together a rough idea of how the bike could look with the DELIBERATE design on the downtube. Basically a 'mock up' using paper with the printed logo. The top image shows the initial design stage, and the bottom picture shows the bike with its white logo section sprayed in candy white. This involved marking out where the logo should sit, masking off, and a few good coats of the candy white. These are then carefully buffed/polished in with the rest of the bikes paint job. Next job, get that simply sweet DELIBERATE logo on that ride!!!

DELIBERATE bike conversion update
Hi,
It's been a while since we last posted, as we've been busy in the spray booth, and then waiting for paint to dry! Here is the DELIBERATE bike conversion in it's new paint, baby blue. We used four coats of primer, laid on nice and heavy, then 6 coats of colour. Just finished buffing it up, so heres a quick photo. More to follow very soon, plus, a video of how we spray our bikes, just in case you fancy taking on your own!!
