Retro Frame Re-Spray ??

[KonaJJ]

Hi Chaps,

I notice a good few people go for the re-spray of their retro bikes, I want to know where & who does this service, pro's & cons & the cost?? Also is it possible to get the correct colours from Kona for a re-spray??

Please post any pics of your re-spray job...

This would then lead me on to asking about decals, I've seem a few go on flea bay and on here but is there anyone dedicated to producing 100% correct decals in the correct colours for the year?? not just sticker sets!

Just wondering! & thanks in advance..

JJ.

I'd be interested in this as well. My 2002 Yeti would benefit from a respray, but I'd like to know costs. I guess with a 2002/2003 I could still get the stickers from Yeti.

For best results , you can use a company like Argos cycles .
for powder coating , plenty of locals company do it , a lot cheaper , but not such a nice finish .

So its looking like 200+ once you have shipped back and forth.. not to bad but this would then mean all other parts on the bike would have to be new looking!!!

Much more fun to go out and ride old bikes than fix them up and try and make them perfect...

In my opinion anyway

Local powdercoat about £35. Good job, looks like new. s local, no postage too. Easy and cheap
Harder wearing than enamel/wet, but may not be as good at protecting the metal (as people who know more than me suggest).

Decals from Gil on here are great. Gil_m username.
Has a lot of common artwork, or can make it up for you.
