Kona Kula 94 - respray to 97? (Now with Pics)

[Monkeeee01]

Hi all

I recently received a 94 Kula frame off the bay and its not in as good a condition as I hoped it would be so I am considering a respray.

Where would people recommend to go to?

I have used Argos in the past and wasn't that impressed.

Bob Jackson cycles look quite good

http://www.etoe.de/ look amazing but not sure if I need to to that length for just a colour respray as I will ask Gil_M to make the decals for me.

I want to go for either the same colour (gold) which I think Bob Jackson could do easy enough or to try and recreate the dark red of the 97 Kula?

Any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Any decent powder coaters close to you?

 

[Monkeeee01]

Yeah there are a few powder coaters in the area, could look into one of these I guess.

The reason I mentioned powder coaters is because you mentioned the one colour only

Eto.de appears to be a cake manufacturer?

wow, nice work. imagine doing something like that for a living..

Yeah they do look good, the Klein jobs are amazing considering they are not the original painters

I want the frame to look like this (although the photo's I have just added of the frame as it is now actually make it look better than it is)

Got mine done at J R Finishright in Horsham as they paint all of our castings for work..... Did a great job of it

Is finished now but only got a crappy photo

I saw them online actually and as they are only just up the road thought I might pay them a visit.

What did it cost you?

thanks
