Does seems a bit much, but if you splashed that much on a respray........
One that looked about the same reached £260 about a month ago on ebay.
Sold mine, non painted cable guides, no £150 spray job, for £160.
Coating does look pretty thick. Mine would not go that flat or shiny. Even with 3 evenings worth of rattle cans.
I would think people who have been looking for one are well aware of the price they go for. Or maybe i will be proven wrong.

You see that quite alot with people that have re-sprayed frames though.

The frame is worth £200 and I spent £150 getting it 're-finished' so it must be worth £350. They don't seem to realise that a good condition frame is only worth £250 even if they've spent £1000 getting it re-done.
