About Rotaris

About us

Passionate cyclists spend hours maintaining their beloved bicycles to like-new condition, because they know that proper maintenance is the key to a smooth next ride. But while so much time and money is devoted to maintain and repair the mechanical side, so little time is spend on the frame.

Rotaris was founded upon the personal experience that existing processes for repairing paint damage were not at all customer-oriented, did not meet the expected quality level or could be quite costly. Overall, there was a lot of room for improvement.

 

Approach

Every bike brand has different colours and every season new colours are released to the market. Our approach is to create a custom paint for every bike model and colour available in the market. For this reason Rotaris works in close cooperation with its partner bicycle brands.

Paints for some bike brands are sold directly to consumers, while others are distributed through the brand's retail network.

 

Quality

When repairing a bike's paintwork there are a few options to consider. One of those options is the type of paint to choose, and the quality that comes with it. It is tempting to pick any DIY paint or nail polish, because they are affordable and available in many different colours - which increases the chance of a 'good enough' colour match.

At Rotaris we value quality - both in terms of colour match and a lasting repair. We spend a lot of time and resources to develop the best possible colour match, but how good is that when the paint itself is of poor quality? That's why we only work with high-quality waterborne automotive paints, because they are durable, UV resistant and have great adhesive strength.
