First you have to get the old paint off.  Remove all of the component and take it to a paint shop that has a glass beading machine and have them remove the paint.  This is similar to sandblasting.  Using a gravity feed pneumatic paint sprayer, first prime the frame, then paint it.  Follow with a coat of clear coat.\n\nOr just get a can of spray paint from Wal-Mart.

Go to walmart, or dunhams. They have bikes from $60.00 to $350.00. It depends what you are looking for. I think mine was around $150.00. I take it out everyday, and i go off the beaten path alot. It holds up pretty good. I know in a few years i might want to up grade, but for the price, it works for now. especially if you are tight on cash.If you go to walmart, just be careful your tire isn't bent, and check everything before you go out. My brakes were really tight, and i had to do a few adjustments all around. That is the only bitch, but i figure i would have had to do that with any bike. Plus i know my equipment now. good luck!

How about just painting the tip with some red or "safety orange" paint?

Don't! \n\n.... or you'll be finding the money for a new wheel and a new freewheel!\n\nGo to a bike shop - they may do it for free or for the price of a coffee.

to solve your problem with minimal work, just bring your bike into a LBS and they should have the tool to take it out, shouldnt cost you a dollar or two, they might just do it for you for free! \n\nCheers

Try going to your local hardware store,and asking them to donate there mistints paint, We donate ours to the local soccer team..all of the mistints won't work but alot of the times theres damaged whites and light mistints that do work for them..saves them a ton of money..Just an idea!! Have a good day

take off your cranks and tighten everything and oil it all. this will make it run smoother and your parts wont come lose, maybe get a new B.B. if that one is old. Tighten that lock nut realll good and you will be in good shape.

If you want to build it up original, check out http://www.vintagebmx.com\n\nMany people on that board swap and rebuild BMX bikes.

Use a good quality automotive undercoat first - especially one formulated for aluminium or similar.\n\nOnce the paintwork is restored, apply several coats of a good automotive lacquer (this will really give the paint job depth and lustre too). Finally, apply specially made PVC protective sheet to all areas likely to be scratched (good bike shops and some car accessory dealers will stock this). Once on this gives permanent protection and looks fine.

i don't think they will really care.. as long as you can see out the necessary windows... any type of paint will work... go to wal-mart and pick up some regular.. acrylic paints.. or something.. it will wash off no problem... my dad wanted to paint something on his back windshield one time and he kept painting it on there and a couple days it would come off... he tried everything

Just about anywhere as long as you have an ORV sticker.The bike doesn't need to be street legal and as long as you stay off the U.S. and state highways you are good to go.

Degreaser is great for your chain and other such mechanical parts. When you're spraying it, be careful not to contaminate your discs (if you've got disc brakes) or the brake blocks if you're running V brakes. Hose your bike down with a low pressure hose, or use a clean cloth. I wouldn't use a pressure washer as you can push dirt further into bearings and cause more damage. Dry everything as much as possible, don't forget to relube the moving parts. Dry or wet oil, depending on when and where you're using your bike. WD40 is also pretty good on chains and some bearings as it pushes the water out and gives an element of protection. Don't use too much grease or oil as it'll hold the dirt and make your bike harder to clean the next time round.

all depends on what you wish to do with it.\nAbout 20 years ago when i was into BMX racing , my choice of bike was the light weight "redline"
