Mario Vaz resprays

I wonder if you can get a clear powder coat over the top...

Just picked this up from Mario. Apologies if the photo is upside down, seems to be when I upload!

595? Would. Non-standard e-post; is it the tri one?

Yes it could be the tri one, original snapped on Paris Roubaix!

Is Mario still knocking out frame repairs?

Mario paints, Winston repairs.

Confusing! Well, for one with tiny brain.

Need new dropouts on the road bike, aluminium flaking away like crazy, tried a DIY job to stem the flow but hasn't really worked.

If you manage to get an answer out of him let me know! Messaged him over Facebook and replied after months giving me his email, emailed him and haven't got any reply as of yet :/

calling him is best.

yeah but I wanted to show him the frame before embarking on the journey down south-east London.

Does anyone have an email for Mario?

What are you up to?

@Thrust - Ha! I've got a project Bob Jackson track frame (sexeh wishbone stay) that needs a dent fill + respray.

Anyone used him recently, any ideas on cost for single colour wet spray and decal application?

Mmm wishbone sexeh. Nice!

I had a frame painted by Mario by my design a few years ago. Gold and green glitter effect with the colours in sections to my design and thin chevron linings between thee colours. He did a beautiful job. It still looks amazing after many years

Was tempted to do a respray this summer..all though reviews and concensus is positive of vazs work, there is one bad review on Google, normally I wouldn't take much notice but the guy has left lots of pictures and indeed it is quite horrific.
Not sure whether to proceed or now.

Yea but the guy who left the review is a twat... Reviewed another business at the same kind of time but they responded (see attached).

From what I've seen Mario does great painting and they are both straight up honest dudes.

was going in expecting a whiney google review (love them) but that was a shocker! even in comparison to the pics in other reviews it's noticeably out of character

gotta be more drama behind it (hopefully someone digs it up)

Mario just finished this for me a few weeks back (have had frames done by him for the last 10 years, if not more)

I'm not sure what the deal was with that frame, but what is clear is that its completely out of character perhaps the result of an annoying customer.
But it was was shockingly bad.
I still plan to take a trip to SE London this summer.

Well, was it an actual work from Vaz?

The reviewer claims so... but not sure the deal with it all is.

BTW this was done like a month ago, 2nd frame I had Mario repaint.
I had also his brother repair the top and downtube and his work was really clean and nice.

Yeah, so it's one side of the story.
