I am a body shop paint technician, I worked on pretty much every kind of transportation vehicles, from cars to planes, custom jobs of all kinds included. I am SO impressed with the effort and love Fat Creations is putting into their work. In the Interview there are subtle remarks as to how they work, and why they work in a certain way, and not only do I 100% agree, I am also SO impressed by how they do it.
OMG. OMG 😱 my cash draining hobby has just taken a turn for the custom. OMG every frame is a work or ART. Pick my jaw up from the floor I want everything. I’ll take it all thanks. Just wow 🤩
Started watching and had to go back and check this was the same company that painted Ben Deakin's bikes earlier in the year. New office/workshop looks absolutely amazing, must be so nice to work in now compared to the old shed setup. They do amazing work, so dedicated and love bikes and it shows. Love the colours and fades on his new C'dale.
Very inspiring story, love those designs, the old paint shop was nothing to be embarrassed about its got an awesome vibe and mood to that place... Wish someday I can setup something like that aswell. ❤️
These guys really do love their work. I can't imagine myself riding downhill with such paint job though. I'd be constantly checking if rocks damaged the paint yet.
This. My bikes get transported a lot, ridden over gravel and through the woods; they look well worn. I would love for them to look beautiful, but I know they would be only a short ride away from Chip City.
Amazing work is done by Fat Creations. I've had a bike sprayed there and it was brilliant. Such a great video. Manon you smashed it! I have another bike to be sprayed by Ali soon. And Bex and the stencilling is simply the best!
@@fatcreationscustompaint Would love to see some more videos of your creations taking shape or even just a weekly vid of what you're doing that day with a camera in the room sped up to give us an idea and see these works of art take shape! I've subbed in hope : )
What does something like that set you back ? If you don't mind the question...……………..but I understand if you don't want to divulge such information of course
So okay, my favorite has to be that Cannondale, looks like an Evel Knievel Special and, well, Evel was pretty much the man for popularizing custom paint on two-wheelers.
This is phenomenal. I love these beautiful bikes. There are way too many boring black bikes out there. If I had the money I'd totally have them paint a bike for me. I love the creativity. I love the sparkle of the metalic metal flake. I love the fades. Klein used to have some wild fade paintjobs in the 90's. Thanks.
Us rim brake riders will be having to use this service to keep our pride and joys lovely. Just had my 2010 synapse resprayed as I don’t want a disc road bike.
@@fatcreationscustompaint please start doing more CZcams videos! I would love to see the whole process and learn a new thing or two! I'm sure some kid around the block would love to make videos for you as practice
@@fatcreationscustompaint You should get a camera man and film the painting process. Just like bike build it's a work of art. Love them, paint jobs brings life to the bike. Cheers from a bike enthusiast
14:37 that paint tone is sick! First words that came to my head was bursting fruit flavors. That's why I find bicycles so pleasurable to look at Its because of variety of paint finishes that you wont find in a car or motorbikes
Custom paint really is so satisfying. I bought a handbuilt frame in early spring and was able to (had to) come up with the paint design myself; when it came back I built it up in the builder's shop and then just stared at it for the rest of the night.
He shouldn't be embarrassed by his old workshop. Looks like a place where lots of work got done! Fantastic bikes. I really like these types of videos. Similar to the video of Mr. Hincapie's shop with Simon a few months back. More of these!
I think we tend to imagine the most amazing and pristine shops and corporate headquarters of our beloved bike makers. I visited Phil Wood in the 80's and could not find their location. After much searching for the address, I FINALLY poked my head into this old, dark, grungy machine shop and asked, "You guys know where Phil Wood is?" "You found us!" Ha, ha! Image of shiny, impressive corporate headquarters shattered! (This is not true anymore as they've upgraded their environs several times since then.)
The metalized finish with deep red color, is awesome, but I think the plus is not in the hand Job, is in the mind designer. Great job, I see you love your art. Thanks for share
A really good video, great content and nice to have a shift away from the heavy paid content and a more serious presenting style for a change. Go Menon!
Great tour of the shop loved the video. I thought I heard Manon getting or having a custom paint job on her bicycle is this true and were can I see it. Keep up all the great videos.
If your bike budget is $5000 and you want it painted by these guys you have to buy a $50 bike. :-) I wish I could afford to send them one of my bikes I'd like to have put back to its original glory. They do mind blowing work.
As a solo entrepreneur in the west you need to charge arround 40€ an hour to make a living (+materials). That's rougly 2.5K for a 60 hour paint job. Alltough single framesets can cost a couple thousand Euros I wonder who is willing to pay that. That aside great attention to detail and stunning designs! Kudos from a fellow painter.
A rideable work of art, to be sure. I bet they could even do the cranks and shifters if asked since carbon is carbon. One of these years, I know what I want for a birthday present.
What did you think of these crazy paint jobs? Let us know in the comments 👇
I am speechless
top notch that make me even more want one
Really amazing... I wish I find someone who did that work in my country, Brasil.
Right now All I can say is WOW i love some of these paint jobs hes done!!! So much so that i want him to paint my bikes!!!
A job well done. Amazing 🤩
I want one just because I respect this mans resilience. What a lad.
He's a true legend!

I never thought a bike's paintjob could trigger so much feels.
❤💛
Kudos to Fat Creations for going into so much detail of their painting process. Interesting!
💚
I had to pause the video for the last reddish orangish Cannondale. The subdued yet striking look of that bike was simply the best.
😁❤🧡💛thank you

Those creations are absolutely beautiful. Clearly a lot of dedication and passion have gone into making these paint jobs. Thanks for posting.

Manon looks completely in love...when she looks at the finished bike frame!
Amazing work is done by Fat Creations. I've had a bike sprayed there and it was brilliant.
Such a great video. Manon you smashed it! I have another bike to be sprayed by Ali soon. And Bex and the stencilling is simply the best!
Agreed Jon - what an awesome team, and now workshop!

LOL at the giraffe on Conor's headtube. Awesome work and shop- thanks GCN!
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it! We certainly did!
😁🤣🤣🤣❤
This is amazing
A hobby, a passion, for a whole lifetime.
Very well done!
❤
Amazing! Wish these guys were close to me here in the US! Wish these guys all the best, they are doing amazing creations!
❤
Oooo that tequila sunrise Cannondale though...
👌👌❤🧡💛

Evel Knievel was one Badass Dude!
👌😁💚
I just totally DIG looking at the set up at Fat Creations! Thank you so much for doing this!
How about sending Manon on a US trip to visit garages of Keith Bontrager, Garry Fisher etc..
Covid. cant travel?
I could watch that paint dry all day.... Beautiful.
😁😁
😁👌

Nice to see such talent recognised and showcased. So Manon, tell us more about this green creation ...
i love the videos where you show how bike are made!
We love making them too!
❤
I'm a simple man. I see Manon, I clicked like. 👍🏻
That is it for me. i see her i click!
The Cannondale looks so lovely.
Always been a fan of custom Paint Jobs, gotta get one done on my TCR
I do my own paint jobs, my jaw drops at Beccas stencil work. they are the superstars of bike painting, I admire their work like crazy.
Beautiful work. I really loved the Cannondale
i feel his passion. big heart to this guy nice personality and great mindset
Such a professional and using Lidl stands same as me lol ! Just proves how good they are hah
Can't wait for them to get more stock ;) we need 2 more he he
@@fatcreationscustompaint please start doing more CZcams videos! I would love to see the whole process and learn a new thing or two! I'm sure some kid around the block would love to make videos for you as practice
I’ve spent ten years with Harley Davidson and before that built the Lotus bike.
Ali is the best in the business
We believe it!
Thank you Andrew thats very kind. I hope your well ❤
This type of content is golden, love from LI,NY.
Lo Lo xxx
Ali and Bex spray legends 💚 love the yeti they did for me
Cherrs Daz :) 😃 ♥
Anyone else find Manon absolutely lovely?
I wish they have a guy like him doing this type of work in the United States. The paint job looks fantastic.
What a cool guy and awesome business!
❤️
I hope he gets a yellow GCN water bottle for saying he had a prime example of a primed frame.
👌😁😁

@@DrunkieCat "agreed" ;) we are trying to get out CZcams up to a fair standard hoping it will be something to be proud of soon :)
they could save 10s of hours on EVERY job, but they sand back ALL the paint just to save 100-170 grams in the end.
That's commitment. Big kudos.

I'm in love with Argon frames... i don't know why.
Best gcn tech video yet. What an amazing company that creates functional artwork!
Spotted that sneaky i30 N! Aside from the awesome bikes, of course... 😉
Manon's car is sick 👌👌
Respect young man. Veery proud of you. You really love bikes so do I ♥️👍🏽
❤️
Absolutely fantastic job, i love it. Well done and i wish him and his team all the best!! Chapeau 🇨🇵🇨🇵
Love that CAAD12
👌😁
I LOVE THE Cannondale!

Watching the video for Manon....

Very interesting and informative. Thanks for the tour !
Oh how I would love to get my hands on that Stars and Stripes Cannondale 😍😍😍🤍❤️💙❤️💙🤍
😁😁💚
nice vizsla! best breed
Amazing story & so talented.
With that good boy on the screen @7:46 I cannot pay attention to the interview anymore
the Cannondale was biggie smalls 🤪
😁😁👌
Dang.. you guys painted the 'no cake, no glory' bike... that was epic on social media !
Wow, amazing work!
Thank you
Absolutely fantastic, never thought about a custom paint job before...defo would now!
Thanks GCN . I now hate my bike 😂
Oh hi! @10.38 🤣
Loved the subtle work on Connor’s Aquablue really nice.
Have to go with the Cannondale and +1 on the Evel Knievel comment exactly right.🙂👍
The metalized finish with deep red color, is awesome, but I think the plus is not in the hand Job, is in the mind designer. Great job, I see you love your art. Thanks for share
Those paint jobs are mad amazing, hot damn.
Nice job Manon.
A really good video, great content and nice to have a shift away from the heavy paid content and a more serious presenting style for a change. Go Menon!

Great tour of the shop loved the video. I thought I heard Manon getting or having a custom paint job on her bicycle is this true and were can I see it. Keep up all the great videos.
She had some tuition;)
That Cannondale at 10:17 with the stars is beautiful.
professionals... stunning!
💚
Dude at 10:42 is apparently not a fan of Manon
😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🙈
Love this guys work. This is one of the people that inspired me to paint my own custom bike. I wanted to get one of those polishers he has.
Crazy awesome😮😮😮😍😍😍😍😍💪💪👌👌👌👌👌👌
I love the rundown on all the detail steps involved in a truly professional paint job! Now think about all the same day auto painting shops around?
That was nice! More like this please...
❤
i only watch GCN because of Manon😁
Amazing paint job and thanks for making a video about it.
If your bike budget is $5000 and you want it painted by these guys you have to buy a $50 bike. :-) I wish I could afford to send them one of my bikes I'd like to have put back to its original glory. They do mind blowing work.
So many pretty bikes! I love the orange and red one. I wonder if they do steel...
Custom paint is a must have.
These paint jobs are beautiful. What a cool shop! I love how Manon keeps her composure around these sick bikes. That's the most impressive part :-)
My custom made bike (slightly bigger than Conors) is Bianchi green. I think I'll have a giraffe on my next one too 😊
WOW!!
As a solo entrepreneur in the west you need to charge arround 40€ an hour to make a living (+materials). That's rougly 2.5K for a 60 hour paint job. Alltough single framesets can cost a couple thousand Euros I wonder who is willing to pay that. That aside great attention to detail and stunning designs! Kudos from a fellow painter.
That is bloody gorgeous
SO COOL
This guy has a very impressive attitude, I wish him all the best. He needs to loosen the collar on that dog though, too tight.
Noted but It slips over her head at times 🙈🙈👌💚
@@fatcreationscustompaint It doesn't look that tight... we have a Viszla too but he doesn't wear a collar around home :)
Sweet, full black please.
the guy at @10:38 was like 'nope'
So cool
No Cake no Glory!
ETOE on CZcams is bonkers!
Excellent finish and razor sharp detailing brilliant. Warning one custom paint job leads to another..... As I have found 😀
It's funny that the cannondale paint job looks like the original paint job on her fiji she painted with the 5 tones paint.
Fat Creations also did Ben Deakin's DMR enduro and downhill bikes in the old shed. Amazing work!!
Ali and his team are incredibly skilled!
That was a cool process to watch, thank you GCN
We enjoyed making it - so thank you!
A rideable work of art, to be sure. I bet they could even do the cranks and shifters if asked since carbon is carbon. One of these years, I know what I want for a birthday present.
