Stripping Our Bike

We started out by disassembling out BMX Bike.

Removing the Paint

Then, we removed the paint from the bike by spraying the bike with acetone but, that didn't work so we sprayed it with paint remover and let it sit overnight and scraped the remaining paint off with sandpaper.

Repainting the BMX Bike

Next, we sprayed the bike with spray paint primer and then we used a matte black spray paint to repaint the BMX Bike and then we left it out to dry.

Putting the BMX Bike Back Together

Finally, we put the BMX Bike back together and we had to replace a few bolts but we also never received our wheels so we didn't completely finish it but it wasn't on us it was on Amazon for never shipping our wheels to us.
