The trick itself is very simple, and can be done with just a few clicks:

  1. Load up GTA Online.
  2. Open up Pedal and Metal on your iFruit Phone.
  3. Select a BMX bike in the menus.
  4. Hit the home button on the URL bar, and head to Legendary Motorsport.
  5. Click the Z-Type vehicle, select a color of your choosing, and then click the Clock button.
  6. Re-visit Pedal and Metal and buy your BMX.
  7. There you have it, a sprayed bike that you can’t usually get!
