Frame painting

As a London-based brand, we are keen, when possible, to use local partners in the manufacturing process of our bicycles. This means we can keep a close eye on the quality, be flexible in our approach, and, best of all, we’re happy to support local industry

We paint our frames in Peckham at Purpose Powder Coatings.

Each Freddie Grubb frame is powder coated rather than wet painted. This provides a thicker and more durable finish which, when looked after, means your steel frame will last and still look great in 30+ years’ time.

It's a simple and very effective way of painting steel frames as 95% of the powdered spray paint actually ends up on the frame due to the electrostatic application. The high voltage static charge on the frames and the spray gun means that the paint wraps around the frame with minimal waste giving it a perfectly even finish. 

The frames then go into an oven where they are cured under heat to allow the paint to flow and form the high-end ‘skin’ that gives the Freddie Grubb frame its distinctive look and hard-wearing quality. 

If you're after a custom colour bike frame, then get in touch; we can do one-off colours for an extra fee - prices available on request. View our bike collection here and check our Instagram for more inspiration and images of finished bicycles.
