  1. Hello everyone,

    I am in need of a new paint job on my Colnago & wondered if
    you could direct me to some good painters? I think I might want to
    re-create the original paint job.
    I have dealt with a couple of painters in the past, but they
    are either out of business or the experience was less than pleasant.
    Airglow is out, for this reason. Nice paint job, but getting
    information from them is worse than root canal.
    I know about CycleArt & Spectrum Powder Works. Anyone else I
    should check out?
    I live in Virginia & would love someone semi-local, but I'll
    take what I can get if they are good.
    Thanks.

    Arguably, the very best in the U. S. is Joe Bell, in La Mesa California. No
    great paint job will be cheap and the more intricate, such as the 'Nago
    patterns, will be more than a single color. He did the paintwork on my 'new'
    Kirk and it's fantastic! See the example here:

    We use Waterford and we're quite satisfied. We may have your
    transfers, too, depending on year.

    I second the recommendation for Joe Bell. However, he's in Spring
    Valley, California.

    Also consider Brian Pritchett of Cycledelic Designs, 940-382-8273 or
    [email hidden]. He does Colnago repaints for the US
    distributor, Trialtir, so can match your Colnago just like a factory
    paint job.

    He refinished a vintage Cinelli Supercorsa and Colnago Super of mine,
    and they are gorgeous.
