[Closed] Show me your resprayed bikes

Argos racing cycles will do a top job, you'll need to send it off but the quality is second to none.

C'mon people...someone must have had their pride and joy beautified recently 😉

I had my Genesis Altitude 853 done by Bob Jacksons in Leeds. Not the best pics but you get the idea.

It's not been done recently but here's a link to my cotic soul that I got repaired and resprayed by Cupar Bikes. They knocked a big dent out of it and resprayed it all as well as putting on the decals for about £120 if I remember correctly. They did a great job.

[img] http://imgur.com/6O9vg2L [/img] 2011 giant trinity, the previous owner had the bike stollen from him an they made a right mess of the frame, I stripped it all back with paint stripper on the frame and thinners on the carbon fork, I then had a local automotive car sprayer spray it in black with white on the inside edges the stickers were from a local sign writter I gave him the sizes and ideas an he came back with that, there not lacquered over but nothing stopping them being so , stickers and frame sprayed for 100quid, so my suggestion is to try locally to you see what you can find ? http://imgur.com/6O9vg2L

Hendersons in Edinburgh. £120 for blast cleaning, paint and then a final laquer over the stickers that came from CCA Signs...

Mine, stripped off top paint and decals, primed, and resprayed in British Racing Green with a laquery top coat by me with rattle cans. Looks nice and seems to be quite durable.

Not used them but check out cromaworks stuff, in Sheffield so not too far away:

Got my old Explosif enamelled in RAL5014 pigeon blue. I loved the Singular Swift and spent many obsessive hours matching the colour. Done by Argos along with some repair work in 2008. Cracked the frame last Autumn 🙁

Takisawa2...really nice colour...what is it?

Just seen that like most, I completely failed to answer anything other than the title.

Dave Yates' prices here: http://www.daveyatescycles.co.uk/custom_bike_frames-Prices-52.php

Which I think are about on a par with others, powder coating will always be a good slice cheaper, and if it comes out as nice as Vortexracing's Kona, why not? Harder to strip/blast off if and when you want a refresh, though.

Decals, try here http://www.hlloydcycles.com/

or Gil at the cycleshed has been recommended on here.

Or keep it understated and just get a headtube badge from someone like Geoff Moorhouse - http://www.heavygoods.org.uk/Headbadge.htm - the Dekerf one in the middle at the bottom is the one I had made for mine up there ^

Not sprayed but powdercoated....

Done at the same place vortexracing got his done!

my 1999 Orange Patriot, Powdercoated by R and R powder coatings in Ripon for £42.
A further £18 for the bb and headtube to be reamed and headset cups fitted by my lbs (ironhorse cycles in Darlington)

Not bothering with stickers, just the headtube badge.

The colour is ral6013

Ned, I'll be recoating my Genesis Alpitude soon, and I'll need to remove the head badge. Are they just glued/taped on? What's the best way to remove them if I want to reuse it?
