Step 6Finishing it up
Now that the color coats have had some time to dry you can clear coat the bicycle if you like, as before read the directions on the back of the can and apply 2 to 3 coats of clear.
If you are like me you cant wait to get it back together and ride it, but give a day or so to dry as to reduce the chances the still soft, yet dry paint well get gouged in the process of reassembling the bike.
Put the bike back together, adjust it all up and go for a ride.
In about 2 weeks or so it well be a good time to pollish, the new paint, as it well have fully hardened by then, possibly longer in colder temps. You should now have a nice new ride that did not cost a hole lot either.

I scratched off the clear coat of my bicycle with a rough sponge and I don’t know what clear coat to add on it. It is really nice paint. Do you have any suggestions?
