who can recreate this fat chance yo-eddy colour then ?

[retrobikeguy]

was thinking of argos, but then I have jacksons down the road from me too.

:idea: anyone recommend a good painter who had done a reasonable job at recreating the fat colours ?

Rody knows a lot about replicating Fat Chance colours - if he happened to know the RAL numbers required, a local painter could maybe recreate them.

To be fair to Argos, they do say they will use colours that aren't on their normal palette, but for an extra charge and they're quite expensive in the first place - a lot more than Jacksons.

:idea: Has anyone here ever used jacksons before then :?:

 

[slimjoe]

yes..

Ive had 3 frames painted by JACKSONS & they all turned out ok..

But not as good as ARGOS..The paint finish is much shinier and professional by these chaps...

If you send me your e-mail ill send you a pic of one of frames i had done at BOB JACKONS...

File is too big...

They DO a fine job of the thread tapping etc And are superb for any repairs etc...

I reckon its a job for Kris Le Rouge - where is he hiding?

 

[cchris2lou]

he doesnt do paint anymore , not a lot anyway .

he builds frames .

my dad has his viking painted at argos i think they dont do a lot of prep before they paint. There is a lot of orange peel and imperfections in the paint, he was happy with it but im a bit anal about paintwork stems from bulding showcars i guess i just think if your going to do it then do it right.

Lee,

You should have just had the frame sent to me...could have done the paint and decals in one fell swoop

I've got the codes for Aqua Fade...pm to remind me once I get back from the show on the 12th and I'll hook you up.

cheers,

rody
