Alex has just found a product that looks like paint, but is nearly impossible to scratch. It’s super light weight, resistant to high temperatures & harsh chemicals, and can be applied to nearly anything. So if it’s not paint, what is it?! 🤯

Alex dives into "Cerakote", an unscratchable coloured ceramic coating, and joins Jack from Sturdy Cycles to understand the fascinating process behind applying this magic material to bikes!
