Quite doable lad.
Quite doable indeed.Your main expense here would be having the frame chemically stripped as opposed to being blasted. Blasting of most kinds will alter the surface of the metal. Uniformly of course but it will still appear dull... you need some kind of consistent shine for candy to be effective... that's why in most cases, candy will go over silver or gold (or oddly, gloss black).
Are you after just the candy red or the original branding too?

Comprehensive response as ever.
On a separate note, I’ve got a CAAD7 Saeco. The dark red candy clear over brushed aluminium. I’m hopefully picking up a CAAD5 track frame in the next few weeks/months. How possible would it be to strip, brush and copy the Saeco candy clear coat over the raw metal on it?
