Premium Makes Frames

Black and chrome always looks badass so you can't go wrong.

This.

Since pretty close to, if not day one.

But also I would sand to make things SMOOTH. So use rough grit to remove all gloss and smooth over chips etc, then a fine grit to remove the rough grit lines. Then wipe it down, then primer, then dry then primer then dry then paint, then dry then paint then dry then paint, then dry for a bit (usually an hour or two) then start with THIN COATS of clear.

Then when the last coat of clear is on, let it sit. My frame was painted on a Friday I think, and assembled on a Tuesday. I was still VERY cautious of scratching the paint, because spraypaint is never super durable. I even used engine paint. (6-8 bucks a can). Start to finish probably took me around 3-5 days of actually working on it (there was around a week and a half where the frame was apart). I rode it for 5 mins after assembly to make sure things were snug etc, and now it is hanging on a wall, over two weeks after starting it all up. It should be fully dry at this point.

Don't buy the cheap crap paint, because it is crap.

I've been curious how a plasti-dip would hold up if done correctly on a frame. Maybe I will try that next time.

Premium was going to focus on only making parts from my assumption based on Chad's welcome to Haro Interview / Premium exit . So it's cool that they still make frames. .

I'm not getting that intricate , impatient and no time ... plus my local shop is closing on the 3rd and they say I need to be there Sunday at the most to have it built up with no customers

Nah i thought it was some kind of contest&the winners got to do the R&D for a frame.i could be wrong but...yea premium has had 2 of the sickest riders in the world on them&bounce out on em at least one of em started their own co.&the other one uh well pretty much sold out in my book .but screw it .it's bmx fool

Why would you waste money on engine paint? It's designed for high heat, not designed to be extra tough to get smashed on lol.
