Aero GSA Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Quote Diepseun - "how much does he charge for a custom paint job on a frame"? The cost depends on what colour you want and how intricate your design is that you want. To custom paint the same as I did our Scott downhill bikes will be in the region of R1000-00.
Diepseun Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 How a bout this paint job but one colour only. My link
Diepseun Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 candy apple red but also with the glitter flakes in.
Aero GSA Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Candy apple is a bi-atch to spray (and very expensive) and even harder to touch up. Glitter paint needs plenty clear coat to get it all covered up smooth.
