This bike tells a story — not just of paint and carbon, but of freedom, nostalgia, and the open road. In this video, I take on one of my most detailed and personal projects yet: hand-painting an entire bike frame with a pen, capturing the spirit of the Arizona desert and Route 66. The design features a classic roadside diner, desert landscapes, and the iconic Route 66 sign — all carefully drawn by hand directly onto the frame. This isn’t just a paint job… it’s a tribute. The bike belongs to a follower who completed a dream road trip across the U.S., and he wanted that adventure permanently etched into his ride. No spray paint, no vinyl wraps — just graphite, patience, and a deep love for Americana.materials I use are in the list below: THE PENS: US link: https://amzn.to/49LR3CW EU link: https://amzn.to/3P4TAi4 spray gun I use: US link: https://amzn.to/3PcKnnL EU link: https://amzn.to/41F7XBh carbon primer white: US link: https://amzn.to/4fsikvA EU link: https://amzn.to/3Ds5oZh matt clear coat: US link: https://amzn.to/49LRwVI EU link: https://amzn.to/3Dnuicp sand beige paint: US link: https://amzn.to/403MvVq EU link: https://amzn.to/4frGbLM STENCIL FILM: US link: https://amzn.to/3ZIpVAh EU link: https://amzn.to/3BqZo2o You like to support me: https://www.patreon.com/realmartingrey My european merch shop: https://martingrey.myspreadshop.de/ My US merch shop: https://martingrey.myspreadshop.com/ If you like my videos and want to give support: https://patreon.com/realmartingrey Check also my stuff on: Instagram: / etoe.designs Facebook: / etoe.designs disclaimer: This video and description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission.
