Can anyone help my search for a frame painter. Not interested in
paying either Joe Bell or CycleArt prices but more than willing to pay
for a top quality job. I'm looking for a 3-color paint job with some
lug striping. Would also be interested in chroming the rear chain/seat
stay if possible.
The frame is steel and in excellent condition. I'm in Portland OR but
would be happy to ship the frame about anywhere.

Thanks

I just checked and it worked for me....click on view portfolio.....

semcustompaint.com.....Dave Sem i used him and he is excellent and what I had done was reasonable.

Ed Litton Cycles in Pt. Richmond, CA (Bay Area). Not as expensive and Bell or
CyclArt but as good. He has tons of decal sets, etc. He is not terribly fast
though. Email if you need contact info.

They work for me (most of them - some point to what must be his ISP).

Yup, Dave Sem is great. Did some work for me at a fraction of what
the other "big" guys wanted. The Mapei Bititan on page 6 is mine.

A second for Ed Litton. Ed either still does or did all of Bianchi USA
"repair" work and has an outstanding reputation. Here's more info and a
few pics:

Boy, if it didn't say "Vanilla", I'd swear "bike #1" on their website was my
Waterford 2200 frame! Same lug design and everything!

Sweet paint job. What made you decide to keep the steel fork over a
carbon replacement, especially if you were going to have it painted to
match?

I actually had a carbon Colnago Flash fork on it at one time and one
day I decided to try it again with the steel fork and I couldn't
believe how great the bike felt! So I sold the carbon fork and kept
the steel fork. I also think the skinny steel fork looks more
visually correct with this frame.
