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: bikefanclub.com-bikefanclub.com-Open ↗

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.

Everyone -

These are some good leads. I'll check them out.
Thanks for all the info!

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.
