Any ideas that don't involve sending the frame out of the country?

I really want it to be sweet candy red......

I got mine done at LSN Coatings as per gjs 'post' above. The bloke I spoke to was called Nich - he's pretty helpful, but i'd make it clear exactly what you want. If you mention he did a BMX for me (Matt) in Essex about 6 months ago he should remember the job, it was in Candy Red 2 process (Silver over Red) - I think I paid £45 including removing all of the old stickers and media blasting the old coating off. They did a good job, perfect colour, the only slight issue was that there is some slight 'pinking' where the colour didn't take under the rear dropouts and under the head tube, but i am happy.

I also know that there is no paint code for Candy Red, well C4 labs in the US told me that anyway !

Please PM me if you need any more details,

Matt

should get my new heater over the weekend, if you still want it doing let me know

weston · « **Reply #9 on:** November 29, 2006, 10:30 PM »

this is the colour i can do, i can use bigger flakes if you want a more metallic finish

gmac · « **Reply #10 on:** November 29, 2006, 10:44 PM »

That look awesome. I got a Hutch Raider that may have to be candied.

weston · « **Reply #11 on:** November 30, 2006, 05:29 PM »

i'll let you all know when i get my heater, i'll spray the frames so you get a more durable finish, if i can do about 4 or more frames the price will be cheaper (about £45 per frame) which includes 6 coates + laquer & a nice candy red metallic finish.... hopefully i'll be able to do them over the christmas hols.

Weston,

Can you also do the candy blue???

Only I've not decided what I want for my Race Inc it's one or the other

Moose · « **Reply #13 on:** November 30, 2006, 06:33 PM »

Weston, I'd like a frame done candy red, add me to the list if you need 4 to make it a reasonable price.

I'm also open to having another one done candy blue, so if Frosty wants blue............

Will you prep the frame as well?

Marty,

Certainly from the UK got it from the bay. Some months back now, but he did have a few other noice items on at the time too.

I'm still not sure which way to go, so Weston let me know if blue is also an option??
