Anyone any idea of the rough cost of a decent paint job on a frame, to strip and spray etc?

As a guide, i know Orange charge £150 to respray one of their frames. Dunno if this includes removing/refitting components though.

I was quoted £100 from argos cycles (not the high street shop) they came very highly recommended. Come the winter will strip down the bike and get it done. argoscycles.com/renovations.htm |

I phoned orange yesterday, they will sandblast the frame, spray it, fit new bearings, sticker it up and send it back for 175 pound. Thats not bad, just have to decide orange or shocking pink!!! now just have to strip it and send it to them, probably only orange frames though.

Think locally, my friend got a his Revel powder coated, which involved blasting as well for a bargain, paid around 40-50quid i think. It was a place in Rhyl, they normally do car, but he does frames too if you ask.
