Thanks a lot. Colour-tech on the London Kent border did it for me. He paints for a few companies, used to do Witcomb and I think still does condor. He painted ed clancy's bike when the team changed sponsors. He also does painting for brick lane bikes. This is the 2nd he's done for me and I would have no hesitation in taking more.
Now those forks! Well chroming was going to take longer and cost a bit more so I went the cheats route and he chrome painted the crown. If you put it up against a precisa chrome fork for example then yes you can tell the difference but standalone it looks pretty darn good. Perhaps more so in keeping with a 40 year old bike as it appears to have a lightly aged patina, a sort of dulled look compared to real chrome. I would definately go that route again for a crown or lug but possibly on a complete fork or rear triangle not.
Incidentally he said if I wasn't happy with the outcome then he'd be happy to take the fork back, chrome it and repaint the 'legs'.

It's really fabulous. Where did you have it resprayed? Did you have the forks rechromed?
