Where to get the best repaint.

Im rebuilding another Yo! Eddy to match the one I very stupidly sold a few years back. When I bought it from fat, I had it custom painted. I want it painted to match my old one, but not sure where to go. Anyone have an opinion, or better yet, any experience. Thanks guys.

Check out the gallery of bikes and look for the pink and purple fade job. Russ Picket , who did the custom paint jobs for Mountain Gaot, painted mine. he is in Chico California and does mavelous work.

He does not have a computer and is pretty old school.

Yea, I was leaning toward them in my search of shops. Btw. How much did Vicious charge you to do the repaint? Im just trying to figure out what im going to be looking at price wise. Thanks.

[fatf**knchance]

download the paint book, i think there is a price sheet. i had some extra paint stuff done so it may be hard to figure. maybe around $500???

[SSjason232]

Looks like they do good work, but they seem really, really expensive. I dont mind paying for quality, but thats a crap load. I wonder if they give discounts to people that work at shops? Guess Ill have to call. Anyone else have any experiences?

[fatf**knchance]

yes they give a shop discount. you really should talk to carl. what

[fatf**knchance]

what shop do you work at ??

[SSjason232]

I work at Pefrormance in Tysons Corner VA.

[SSjason232]

Their work looks awesome, a few of the guys in the shop are interested in getting their stuff painted, so hopefully he can do something. Ill give him a call for sure on monday.

I am in the Washington DC area now and planning a full rebuild of my Yo later this year. Just contacted Wendyll for some stickers and am actually leaning toward a very very matte gray blue "earth pastel" color a la some of the IBIS frames on the mid90s. Always liked that screeching earth color palette that IBIS had...but will definitely be toning it to fat palette.

did you get a quote from them SSJASON?

Have you asked the guys at IF? They of all people should best be able to meet your requirements.

I got the bike back from paint (if anyone is even reading this thread anymore). I got it done at Vicious Cycles and it came out awesome. Total cost with two colors, my name on the top tube, paint removal, prep, and the custom work with the "tear effect" on both the top and down tubes. Total cost with return shipping was $320.00 (with a shop employee discount). Worth every penny!
