Yes, of course. I've done it plenty of times. just check the type of paint u use b4 buying it. u may want 2 ask assisstance in a store such as Home Depot, or LowesCan i spray paint a new bike without sanding it?
I think if you spray paint it without the sanding it will look like crap. Sand the bike with higher grit then eventually go to lower smoother gits.


Edit : If you don't sand little bubbles come up and it flakes.


This is why they sand cars first cause if they didn't they would look like ****.
You should sand. Use a medium, then a fine, grit sandpaper. Seems like it would be easier to buy the bike in the right color than go to all this work.
No you will need to sand it to allow the new paint to grab on so to speak. If you don't the new paint you apply will just flake off
you should sand it or it will look bad quality.
