Painting Carbon Bits

[sfscott]

Anyone know of shops that will paint carbon parts (stems/bars/posts)?

Is this the type of thing that you need to go to a Joe Bell for...if Joe would do it given his bigger bike projects and huge backlog?

I'm sure they're are plenty. Coat in Portland (owned by Sacha White/Vanilla/Speedvagen) does super high end work like that. They do all the hubs/stems/bars to kolor koordinate with those fancy Speedvagen paint jobs.

Carbon paint is car paint is urethane paint. Bring it to an autobody and they'll have it painted in a day. Bonus points if you prep it yourself.

Extra bonus if you just buy an HVLP gun and comrpressor and paint it yourself.

I just had Craig Ryan refinish some carbon cranks- came out nice, cost was reasonable, and turnaround was fast.

John can you post pics?

I'd be interested in seeing the work, as I have some tidbits to refinish.

His frame painting is really nice.

I had Craig do the same. He did a fantastic job and the turnaround was quick.

Check Foresta Bikes and look in the gallery.
