No riding for 2 weeks, so I did this.

Sarnian

As I have been signed of work for 2 weeks now and not being able to ride, I thought I would strip the old Inbred down and breath some new life Into her.
So a new coat of paint and some decals, as well as some other small bits of bling. I was going to get some new 120mm forks but the person buying mine let me down so I stayed with the Maguras, and there you have she looks like a new bike, I don't think she has come out to bad.

Looks good! what was your process for repainting the frame and what paint did you use etc... If you don't mind me asking, thinking of doing something similar in the summer to my avalanche frame

Sarnian

There's a local powder coat company that I have used a fare bit over the years for frame's and stuff.
He charges £40 to strip the old paint of and powder coat It.

Sorry not much use to you, I am guessing you thought I did the job myself

Whereabouts are you Sarnian? That's a very good price for strip and coat.

Sarnian

I live In Guernsey In the Channel Island's, It Is good the new decals cost me £60

MeddlE

Bit too far for me then.

Heh, yeah I did think you did it yourself still though 40 quid for what seems it could be a bit of a pain in the censored job yourself is a good price - I will have to keep it in mind

I've normally been quoted around £60 and that doesn't include stripping, so keep that in mind.

Sarnian

I think he gives me a £10 of the normal price as I was one of he's first customers and have put some business his way, although some of he work does very In quality.

The old war look does look good, but being steel mine was getting rusty ware there was no paint and I had taken to raping white gaffer tape around the worst parts.

It probably want take long until It's looking all war like again.

I need to do this with my Langster. The previous owner hand painted it in Hammerite green. Badly.

I could not decide on the colour as I have had 6 frames done buy this guy In the past 2 years, my daughter was with me and she liked this, I thought I know I will get the decals done In white Instead of black and there you have It.

ThanksBye

Why were the Decals £60?

Sarnian

On-one don't make sticker kits so I hat to have them made up by a sign company who took some photo's and then did what ever they do.
