That does it.....I'm sending my repaint werk to Gilbert "Earl Scheib" Anderson We can't beat that price here in KC. Do you include the bead blasting?
The fundamental difference between car coaters & bike frame finishers has more to do with the level of respect for the product rather than skill.
Car guys finish plenty of tough corners and thin edges regularly and well but some just don't think a bike is worth their time.
There are of course those car finishers who do a fine job on bikes but are inclined to over do it. We see this frequently happening to old balloon cruisers restorations.
