paint jobs

[gibbleking]

as i dont really like the brushed ali finish of me san andreas i was contemplating two things.

1:decent paint job..how much and where to send frame?

2:anodise the sucker....what colour.where to send frame and how much?

any sugggestions would be gratefully received.

im not sure (other than argos) about paint but if anodise get the dent sucked out of her or will show up like a sore thumb
will reflect the light badly and be too obvious

would love to lose that dent ...erm "sucked out"...could you elaborate? cheers.

look around for any one locally that does motor bike tank repairs
there are 2 ways to do it one is the suck the dent out from the outside or they can pressureise your frame (using either water or air) and it will pop out
i had a tank redone had a big shallow dent and they popped it out perfect didnt even crack the paint
shouldnt cost too much either

san's look great with a black mainframe and polished seat tower

but you need nice forks before you need a new paintjob

hah thats brill just watched it a 3rd time..

was thinking about black anodising the whole frame but the idea of polished sub frame sounds good
