respray (and crank refurb)

[YUMEYA]

If you guys are looking for a hubber to mix paint for you and match the colors for you pm BogusOne.

This man has been in the trade for centuries and can do magic with paint.

 

Where is he based?

I want a White with a bit of Pearl, the same shade Blue, and then a darker shade blue for some of the detailing.

 

Lexus have a nice white with pearl - look in their paint catalog.

I kinda like the pearl white that is used on the Mazda 6 also.

Mmmmm I just stripped pearl white off my Gary Fisher frame...... Time to go Colonial Red

Why not remove the paint with sand blasting?

You can but they have to use something else. Sand leaves pitting marks on frame.

Depends on who does the sandblasting thay can actuallt damage threads etc on the frame if not careful. Besides easier to buy removeAll and work at home than send in and wait....

[YUMEYA]

cool..makes sense.

Thanks

you can get any colour you like, I went and bought the green from their supplier, too many choices to chose from so dont worry about getting the right colour, you can get anything......

 

the green is from the Aston Martin colour catalogue.....

 

Where does one get the name "stickers" for your bike... or is it easy to get them ? You made me want to strip my MTB and Road bike this december... quite exited here ! Well done by the way !!

There are some nice colour changing paints out there too - different colour depending on the angle you look at it from - pretty disconcerting sometimes.
