I realise this may of come up before but there may be more or less places now so.. Can anyone recommend anywhere that does this and does not charge the earth?

cheers

    I'd heartily recommend Atlantic Boulevard for the quality of Neil's finishing - regretfully, your bank balance won't. There's also Colourtech in Dartford.

    I'll give neil a call on monday. Iam just after one colour with no decals applying as i can do those myself. Maybe it will be cheaper if i do most of the sanding

    I'll give colourtech a look too

    cheers

    Was quoted £300 plus £45 pick up and return from Atlantic Boulevard earlier for just one colour on frame and forks which is slightly high to say the least

    I bet they do a great job but someone has to be cheaper than that!

    It's the prep with carbon, stripping is a MARE!

    Rubbing the frame down yourself will probably save some money - it needs to be done by hand so just needs some wet'n'dry and elbow grease

    I asked if it would be cheaper if i sanded it but the guy on the phone said i could damage it :roll:

    Guess i'll have to try more places

    the frame is laquered atm?

    if so surely it just needs scuffed and painted. you shouldnt go near the raw carbon.

    Its painted and lacquered yeah so i guess its a case of taking it down just to the point where the edges of the lettering etc will not show through the new paint?
