[url= http://www.armourtexltd.co.uk/ ]I use these guys....[/url]

And I'm based in Ealing...its well worth it...

Armourtex in Hackney...

One week or less turn-around time, £65 for a standard hard-tail frame.

Any colour you want, and any glitter coats/lacquers etc are only another few £ on top.

I've had two fairly complex frames done (Intense M1, Turner HL 5-Spot), and I was very very happy with the results...

Seconding Armourtex - they did a grand job on my Socom, masked off everything perfectly and a massive colour selection to choose from.

So when you send you frame in for painting, do you just remove the shock or do you dismantle entirely?

Hmmm, quite liking the pink!!

Thanks for the info - as above, does the frame (and forks) need completely stripping?

For Armourtex I dismantled everything - removed the linkages and all the bearings and just gave them the two halves of the frame. I think you'd need to do that for most places tbh.

The ML8 has the bearings in the monolink so pretty easy to strip - what about the Fox 36s - any idea if they're easy to strip?

Thanks
