Thanks for the replies. Big H I agree with you about Mario. I have seen his completed work and some frames had flat spots in the paint.
Today I called Argos Cycles and they quoted me £345 plus decals.
After collecting my frame this morning (Fox Plating have done a really nice job £250 for forks and rear stays) I popped in to see David at Colourtech. He quoted me £320 ish inc decals. But I didn't leave the frame with him as I wanted to think about it.
I hadn't thought about Rourke. I will ask them for a quote tomorrow.
Bob Jackson seems to have closed a year or two back.
I know that fading colours into each other is not easy, but I only need the main tubes painting, no forks or rear stays. If I pay £350 for painting the the frame repair will have cost £1000 +.
BigH can you post a pic of you frame on here?
