Custom Paint for Carbon eMTB & MTB Frames
Your frame, your colour. Every Dirtlab Paratu CP carbon eMTB frame and Iuhu CP carbon MTB frame can be painted in any colour you choose: gloss, matte or metallic, with standard or custom decal colours. The paint is done by hand in Taiwan, on a new frame, before the frame kit is assembled.

How it works
- Design it. In the Colour Studio pick the frame (Paratu CP or Iuhu CP), the frame colour (28 custom colours, a YS or RAL code, or your own colour), the finish and the decal colour, and see it in 3D on both sides.
- Send it to Marvin. Press "Discuss with Marvin". Custom paint is never paid in the shop cart: Marvin replies by email with your quote and sets up a video call.
- Confirm the colour. Screens show colours differently, so before painting we confirm your colour with a paint code (YS, TC or RAL) by email.
- Paint and build. Your frame is painted by hand and the frame kit is built: 60 days from cleared payment.
Two-tone and part colours
Want the rear triangle, the rocker or the front triangle in its own colour, or a two-tone front triangle? That is possible on both frames. Send your idea from the Colour Studio and Marvin quotes it with you.
Lead time
Custom colour: 60 days from cleared payment. Standard colours: 3 to 7 days when the frame is in stock, otherwise 30 days. Paratu CP LR (600 Wh) pre-order: size M February 2027, sizes S and L mid-March 2027.
Custom paint is made to order for one rider; see our Terms for the cancellation policy for custom orders.

How do I choose the exact colour?

Can I order custom paint in the online shop cart?
No. Custom paint is made by hand for one rider, so Marvin quotes it personally: send your build from the Colour Studio and you get an email quote and a video call. No payment is taken until the build is agreed.
Can I get two colours or different colours per frame part?
Yes, two-tone and different colours for the front triangle, rear triangle and rocker are possible. Send your idea from the Colour Studio and Marvin quotes it with you.
