London based frame sprayers

hmm, dont think i know her

she a creative lass, hahaha see what i did there

Build Does anyone know that place in Deptford that does resprays and decals? I was told but forgot the name.

Witcomb Cycles 25 Tanners hill, Deptford do frames, modifications and can organise restorations/resprays etc. Is this the place you're thinking of?

iirc witcomb send them to Vaz tho for actual spraying...

Hmm how easy is it taking off braze-ons yourself? What tools to use etc?

Probably going to go to armourtex for painting because its just down the road, but if I can't take the braze-ons off I might as well go to Vaz....

ive been told that its not the best idea to do it your self,you could fuck it up....leave it to the pro's :)

whats the paint work on andy's 3rensho called,its all glittery......anyone know??

he might do

metallic red maybe?

aidan ive been told that its not the best idea to do it your self,you could fuck it up....leave it to the pro's :)

just found a couple of threads on bike forums, sounds quite scary.

Is there anywhere in north London which will take stuff off? Or am i best going all the way back to SE london?

theres nout rong with south east

re. braze ons: I just want to remove some cable guides off the top tube - I was thinking about having a go at them with a dremel tool, but I'm having second thoughts now!
rakan: which threads were you referring to?

Depends how precious you are about your frame. I did Vegemite (old Apollo) with an angle grinder.
Once the bulk of the metal is gone, change to a file and just file off the gold braze stuff trying to keep it even.

Taking off braze-ons is no biggie. Hacksaw for the worst bits, then file + sandpaper etc to get it down flat. I took the mech hanger, lever bosses and cable guides off my peugeot in an hour or two.

Do Armourtex do detailed painting, or just one colour all over? Might be getting a Harry Hall 65 frame, and would like some detail highlights?

i dont know but im going to pick up my frame from them somepoint today or tomrrow i will ask for you if u havnt called them already

afaik armourtex are a bike specialist place and don't know much about frames so therefore I would assume they dont do detail.

btw im going to Vaz tomorrow night before 6pm, im going with a friend of mine, we hoping to get to see the colors they offer etc..

if anyone wants me to take some pics of the samples, lemme know :D

yeah i would....can you ask if they do glitter paint? thats if no one else knows...

What is turn around time on a frame at Armourtex?

i could be completly wrong but im sure i read that renan(lpg) had his frame painted there and he got it back within 48 hours..

I thought I read that too!!! Got some gear lugs to file off, but then it's ready to go!

im thinking of going there,what colour are you going for?

when are you guys going there? I never got round to go to Vaz, but was hoping i could get to go this week after work!

i just ordered some white/black wheels - so im thinking maybe a light color would be nice, pink? baby blue? baby something lol

I restored a 1967 Lambretta 2 years back and had it painted up in a lush pale mint and white colour, and like the idea of using the same green for the frame, and then doing the forks black, as all my parts are black?
