The cost for the respray alone is quite reasonable I think (prices on the Argos website). But when you add on the re-chroming work and replacing the BB cable guides which I also had to have done, it really starts to add up.
For my next resto (if this one doesn't cure the insanity!), I'll really try to find a frame with good chrome, that just needs the paint done.
