They were very quick, but the first try they missed spots, then they tried twice more but apparently the 'good' guy was on holiday, then after bead blasting the bike 3 times they got it right, and I picked it up.
Plus side - the finish is lovely, they were friendly the entire time and did the extras at their expense, so I'd be surprised if they made any money from me. And really, they were good about being open and honest about what was going on.
Downside was it took 2 weeks to finish (I could have picked up a few days earlier, but work and such got in the way once the original dates slipped) and the bikes been bead blasted 4 times.
I guess it's lighter now ;-p so there's that...
