Anyone heard of a paint technique called "Powder Coating"? Can anyone explain what that is?

All these custom paint jobs are beautiful, but very expensive. Anyone have any cheaper paint jobs done? Has anyone had any good luck with their local auto body paint shop?

I paid about $1,000.00 to have each bike painted.


The way this reads is $500 per bike. Is that what you paid, or $1000 each?

Either way; damn.
$1,000.00 each.

You can't powder coat a carbon bike.

glazebal - 2009-07-06 10:07 PM I only have a couple pics of my bike painted pre-rebuilt. I'll try to get some newer pics up, but as you'll see the guy who painted my bike got pretty detailed. Getting a custom paint job is a nice way to individualize your bike, but can be expensive through some people. My guy (Peter Loran) is local, and he had done an airbrush job for me previously. He does some great work.


Do you have contact info for Peter?  Does he have his own shop?  I live in the area and a few of us were talking about getting our bikes painted in the off season.  His work looks great and I would rather support someone local if possible.  I am glad you posted I also saw a pic of the bike you put on on the RATS page.

Thanks,
Adam
