【KYUTAI PAINT】Why do you repaint your frames?

There are two occasions when we paint frames.

One is when we paint a brand-new, bare frame straight from the frame builder, and the other is when we repaint a frame that has already been painted.

Ninety-five percent of our work is repainting frames that have already been painted.

Today, I’d like to talk about this repainting process.

There are actually two scenarios for repainting.

One is when your cherished frame has picked up too many scratches through use and you start to feel sorry for it, and the other is when you have a brand-new frame but you’re not quite happy with the color.

I believe that every cyclist knows the sadness of seeing scratches accumulate on a frame they agonized over before purchasing.

By having it repainted in such moments, I believe you can experience that same joy you felt the moment you first got it all over again.

While repainting scratched frames is a deeply meaningful and important service, I am just as—if not more—passionate about helping those who are looking to buy their very first bicycle.

I’m sure there are times when you wander through the world of the internet or visit countless bike shops looking for a bicycle with the color and shape you love, only to find that nothing truly matches your imagination.

This applies to all bicycles, including standard city commuters.

If you manage to find a bike with a shape you like, but think, "It’s a bit too flashy," or "I wanted orange, but it only comes in blue or black," please remember that Kyutai Paint is here for you.

We continue to do something very simple: if someone wants a red frame, we turn it from blue to red; if they want a yellow frame, we turn it from blue to yellow.

We paint these bicycles for those of you who are excitedly searching for a partner that will serve as a vital part of your daily life and support your exciting activities on the weekends.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about repainting.
