There is an old bike in every other household rusting in the backyard or tossed in a corner of a garage being neglected for years. Well, now they no longer have to stay abandoned, don’t simply dispose of it. You could give it another life! We will furnish you with some splendid plans to transform those old bicycles into something helpful or use them merely for aesthetic purposes. The thought is to change your home into a special, unique space.

It begins essentially with cleaning your old bike. If the bike is really old and rusty, you can use the primer “ METAL PRIMER BIKE SPRAY”. Then you can paint it with the color of your choice with the special spray paint SPRAY.BIKE.

 

Battersea 114’, ‘humber 223’ or the ‘coventry red 204’ will make the bike stand out wherever it is placed. To give it a gentler look, softer hues like ‘superbe 243’, ‘milan celadon 2 203’ or ‘milan blue 206’ can be used. However, if you want to blend it in with the background you can choose ‘silvertown 122’ or ‘hercules 222’.

You could place an old bike in the garden as an extraordinary element. Utilize old bikes in the garden stylistic layout by making them into pot plant holders. This system is basic and will give your garden a rich, vintage contact. Right off the bat, if the handlebars have a bin, start there. Put a compartment there that will serve to hold the dirt for your plants. Ensure you fix the bicycle to the ground so it won’t fall over. You could paint the bicycle in a reasonable shading or adjust it anyway you like to suit your new structure.

The technique of restoration can be applied inside with a slight change in hues as indicated by the indoor setting. The entire bicycle can be fixed on a wooden board or a side divider in an open living room or lounge. When the walls are usually of lighter and brighter tone, darker or bold colors are used, such as ‘blackfriars 100’ and ‘gray’s inn 123’.

Therefore you can use the spray paint ‘Vinyl & Fabric’, for painting the plastic part (seat and handlebar) in black color ‘black 510’. Bicycle can be turn into a table, essentially take out the seat (and handlebar if fundamental) and put a thick board onto the frame of bicycle. Simply ensure that the bike will be steady and won’t wobble about since you’re changing its functionality.

For the most part, bicycle tables like this can be secured to the divider for more noteworthy dependability. If you need your extraordinary bicycle table to be in the lounge, for example, you’ll have to include a few parallel backings so it will remain upstanding.

The bikes can be disassembled and each of its parts can be brought to different use. The tyres can be painted with ‘‘Ral’ spray (having previously applied the ‘Plastic Primer’ for better adhesion) and transformed into a number of things like wall-decorating-flower-wreaths, picture frames and little elaborate and modified tyre-tables or counter stools. The chain wheel and pedal part along with the seat, with a little effort can be turned into a stationary cycle while the rest of the framework can be affixed in a wall for napkins and towel hanging or holding any other decor items.
