Paconi does good paintjobs, and we also can get them powder coated for
around $100 a frame I think, not 100% sure who does it, can find out if
you're
interested.

Delt with Paconi recently and they stuffed it up. Spelt things wrong and
for the money didn't even face the BB and ream out the seat tube of **** so
the post went in nicely.
I had a road frame beadblasted and resprayed for $150 by bicycle recycle in
Morrabbin and I'm rapt with the service and results. I'd do that.

I'd recomend Powdercoat from Bell Powder, Bell St Preston.
Bead blast & basic colours ~$80 - $120, frame & fork. They often do bikes & know how to handle them.

I just handed them 2 bare frame & forks, ie completely stripped of components.
They must have bungs/plugs/fittings etc cause there was no coating inside the head tube or BB. There was a few stray beads from the blasting still in the BB threads but the blasting had even cleaned the inside of the whole BB shell. So clean in fact that a brass line could be seen around each tube inside the lug.
I wouldn't think that carbon could be powdercoated. It can be wet painted but aren't carbon forks mostly raw for that carbon-bling look?

No idea if they're still there but there used to be a place on Bridge Rd
Richmond (Vic) who if going by what was in the front window seem to
chrome just about every thing that didn't move.
