Thanks for the responses guys, I know I'm new on here and don't mean to be too intrusive or come across as someone just out to tout some services!
Yeah the paint porn thread is way out of my league... Some gorgeous work on there.
I'm by no means a pro but I use proper 2k paint and can get a good solid finish. I don't have a site yet (trying to persuade my brother to build one for me as he's a web developer) and I've got some pictures of some previous work which I'll post up when I'm back at my work computer tomorrow.
As for pricing, it depends on the job, how much prep is required, how many colours required, what finish etc... And if you bring me a whole bike or just a frame as it obviously takes time to dismantle and reassemble.
If you want a proper nice job doing like the ones in the paint porn thread then it would be best to go and see a professional... But if you want to go with a more basic colour scheme, or take it back to bare metal and polish it up for example, I'll see where I can help out.
Also happy to advise anyone having a go at it themselves as mentioned above! :)
