Monkey,

The candy finish on the TS, did LSN do any prep work first and do you know if they can prep an ali frame for a candy application?

Paul,
Yeah, they striped the frame and preped it for the price quoted,
I would say you'd need to check re: Ali frames,...the process should be the same...
do you have their contact details ?
cheers
