gil_m does stunning decals. a very high percentage of refurbished frames on here use his decals, my clockwork among them (link in my sig if you want to see the quality of them) I knew they would be good quality but I was genuinely shocked about just how good they were when they arrived.

re: paint, when i was getting quotes for a frame respray, a cheap paint quote was far more expensive than an expensive powdercoat quote so if the colour your after is on the RAL chart, it may be worth looking at powder coating instead.

Yeh your right been looking into it and powder coating seems to be the way to go love the decals have you got a link or site for this guy so I can get in touch? by the way loved the raleigh burner you done takes me back was my first bmx he he

Sadly there is no direct replacement for the grey Zolatone paint. It's not available any more. Matt powdercoat is the nearest you can yet.

Where abouts matey?? Have you thought about spraying it yourself - now the better weather is on its way, you can get good results in the garden....

I used the paint suppliers opposite Wells garage, behind Strawberry Signs, good quality paint, went on lovely & didnt run. Painted this in the garden last year
