Yeah I'd thought about getting a custom spray on one of my mtb frames. FatCreations quoted £600-£700. Decided against it as frame has lifetime warranty and crash replacement which would apparently be voided if custom painted.
I'm know that even a stem being painted will be pricey, but have yet to hear any prices on just a stem alone. Obviously there's a limit to what one would spend just to have a stem painted though...
I experimented sanding down a carbon stem and then clear coating it. I got a pretty a good result considering I done it in my garage and had no idea what I was doing.
But I think I'll have to pay someone to get the flip colour painted logos I want

Yeah, I just want plain black to replace the dated green/ yellow Kamm Tail paint detail that was on the back of seat tube/ stays (old Orica Green Edge Team Edition style). I'd read about the razor method which although sounding terrifying, is actually very effective/ quick at removing laquer and paint...

Yeah, I think Target are more a repair outfit as opposed to pure funky sprayshops like Kustomflow or Fat Creations, but I'm sure they adept at spray jobs too.
Yup, most sprayshops are booked solid, and tbh are charging an arm n a leg. I was quoted £700 for a strip n basic colour spray for an old Scott Foil. I've resorted to DiY with a razor blade to remove the paint I wasnt gone, and when the weather gets warmer, I'll be at it with a rattle-can LOL
