Repainting
I've been thinking about having my frame and fork repainted. It's a custom Pegoretti Marcelo but it's showing signs of wear; the rear dropouts are getting scratched as are both sides of the bottom bracket shell, chips in various places on the down tube, seat tube, and chain stays.
Anyways, anyone have any recommendations for a bicycle painter in the mid-Atlantic region? Spectrum, in PA, has a great reputation. John

https://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=208997 i think the outcome came out fantastically. for a pegoretti, i would definitely look into black magic... i follow them on instagram now, and the work they are doing looks amazing!

JB's work is unsurpassed but the cost of shipping a frame back and forth would suggest that you find a good painter within driving distance if possible. We have had LOTS of threads on painters and you can find them in the archives. OTOH if you can't drive the frame both ways shipping charges to SoCal may not cost much more than it would to ship 200 miles from your home.

This guy
This did my ti Dean ElDiente in 2012. I was totally satisfied with the schedule and price, but was blown away by how good it turned out. You owe it to yourself to check him out.

Tom Kellogg can sure paint a bike. Black magic is a great option for a Peg.

Add Bilenky in Philly to the list of possibles, no direct experience myself but there's lots of pics on Google that look great.

Another plug for Tom, as I've got a bike there now, and got to spend a couple hours in the barn going over stuff. Location shouldn't be a factor, though, unless you're going to drive the frame over. Tom isn't slammed right now, but that will change as spring approaches.

Painting
I honestly can’t think of anyone better than Tony Wright.he was associated with Harbour Auto Restorarion and he was the guy that made sure that Million dollar builds looked like Million dollar builds. He is an amazing painter and he paints bikes now because he has an issue with his back.
He does not use decals, he reproduces everything in paint and has done amazing work on a couple of Serotta, Colnagos’s (including an Arte Decore) and a couple of IF’s. Best thing is he is not out of line with respect to cost. Happy to send pics of some of the work he has done for me is you PM me with an email address Ray |

I just had Tom build me a bike. He fit me, engineered/designed it, Seven welded it, he painted it, he built it.
Here is a picture of some of the detail I took with an iPhone... [IMG]IMG_2614 by Jon Mandel, on Flickr[/IMG] His work is incredible ATMO.

Wanta
Allan Wanta does nice work. Plenty of people here have had him refinish their bikes. Check out Robj's Colnago C50 in the production bikes thread. Awesome!!

You can email Dario for his opinion. Tom Kellog would do a great job and has done work for Dario in the past. If it were my Peg, I would likely ask Joe Bell and find the most cost effective way to ship it to him.
