custom carbon frame respraying

kamil1891

I have a design in mind to get rid of some paint from my carbon frame and apply new one to the current BMC logos (black instead of white) and leave the rest in UD carbon. The project is not so complicated and probably many people could do this themselves. Removing the paint by sandpaper is common thing but I don't think I would be confident enough to test my abilities or lack of them with my best bike :P And after removing paint just paint the logos in black.

I am wondering if anyone knows who does repaint/respray carbon frames and could do what I've written above, preferably in Manchester/Lancashire/West Yorkshire area and how much it roughly costs.

Advices greatly appreciated

that's great and I've also seen that: http://www.nordydesign.com/contact-us.html but my question is, would it not be super expensive? What are the prices like for this kind of service? £200, £500? £2000?!

Atlantic Boulevard in Bury - top quality but you pay for it. If you're looking to save cost you could rub-down the frame by hand and use cut vinyl for the design.

Thanks for that info I may get some quotes of them but you are 100% right, I was thinking about what you are saying, but I think it's more likely that I would spoil the frame.

I'm inspired by this machine: http://www.bikeradar.com/gallery/articl ... Farticle#1

However, I will play about with bmc pro machine which is UD carbon, so could be more difficult to get that effect.
