Custom Paint - Workshop specials.

This is lush.
Love it.

right just found myself here after a brainless session of browsing....have a feeling that this thread is going to put a bigger hole in my wallet....

Everyone thinks that... it can be true but there are ways you can get exceptional finishes for 'reasonable' prices if you work with the painter.

Go with an idea that can grow and develop so the painters can say "If we alter this bit, it's quicker and therefore cheaper"...

Obviously, if you want your bike to have a thousand colours in and glow in the dark, it's gonna get pricey!

This has come back for a respray, customer wants some frame mods. Painted it about 3 years ago and really liked it then. No candies though so straight in the bin.

Also, amateur fades....

Urgh, those people are the worst.

I'm waiting for your next requests ;)

Just get a BTR. I hear they make something similar.

Seems pointless paying for new tubes....

Is this take everything BN says literally day?

I assumed so, shall I turn around? I jumped in the car after I got that "fuck me, this is heavy!" message...

Lol would rep

Enve speed release road fork?

Love it.

Futura gravel from columbus. Lively fork, plus they do OEM version ready to paint.

I've got one of them sitting waiting. Hopefully better quality than the TRP OEM forks

I've got 40 into the basement that need painting, not too keen on that 😆😆😆
From the few I've done so far they have been well finished and ready to go, so pretty happy so far

They've mostly been fine, but a fair few I've had issues with pin holes and there have been runs/ripples under the crown.

I don't really want to think about how many I've masked up in the last couple of years

Aah sorry I meant the columbus ones, not had OEM version of the TRP so couldn't comment.

Ah my fault. Aye can't fault Columbus, except maybe their bent downtubes.

In the stand today... about to shoot a blue pearl. Annoyingly had to draw the Mosaic graphics from scratch, as Mosaic refused to send me their logo.

Nice.
Sometimes the best finishes are just minimal designs with well chosen products.

Not sending the logo is dumb.
I tend to send a BB number so they know its a legit refurb but I guess there's no pleasing some people.

This is a recent favourite from Mosaic.
