hi have you been in touch with rourkes for a price on your respray yet. i had a full respray done by them about 4 years ago,at a price of £125. the price was ok with me as i had always been in and out of rourkies since a teenager drooling over stuff in there in there old shop before where they are now,so i expected a mint job.
after a month of waiting for that phone call to say its ready i picked it up but my heart sank when he passed it over (to late as i paid up front :facepalm: :facepalm: ) ok so the bike i took in was not a rourke but was a very nice early 90s orbit 450 sp. i picked the nicest colour i could find in their books a lovely burnt yellow gold metallic.
i looked at my receipt which said frame restoration and respray, there was some pitting under the bottom tube when i dropped it off to them which you would expect them to fine filler before any paint but they just went straight over it. it didnt matter what i said as it was to be expected that it would never be mint they said.
just thought i would put you in the picture before you commit with them. needless to say i now do my own repaints having been trained to a degree by a friend who is a professional sprayer.i use custom mixed aerosols(yes rattle cans)from B AND S SUPPLIES in cobridge and produce better looking results in my honest opinion
