Custom Paint Service

At Grumpy, we offer painting services for bicycle frames, stems, carriers, and more. This includes chromoly frames, aluminum frames, carbon frames, full repaints, and even scratch repairs.

We offer two painting methods: powder coating and wet painting.

1. Powder Coating

Known for its durability, short lead times, and affordability.

This method involves electrostatically applying plastic powder and baking it at a high temperature of 180°C. The powder used is high-strength polyethylene, similar to that found in PET bottles, resulting in a highly durable finish that is resistant to chipping from road debris, chain slap, and repeated rubbing.

It is recommended for those who frequently use their bikes rigorously, as well as for painting carriers, bottle cages, cranks, etc.

Since the paint is baked in a drying oven, it cannot be used on resin-based materials like carbon. Unlike wet painting, stripping is often required.

Basic fee: ¥15,400 (tax included)

Stripping fee: ¥22,000 (tax included)

 

2. Wet Painting (Urethane Coating)

This method allows for gradients, multi-color designs, and painting of logos and text. The ability to mix metallic and pearl paints to create a wide variety of colors is also an attractive feature of wet painting. It can also be used to paint carbon frames and parts.

Basic fee for new purchases: ¥22,000 (tax included)
