My holy grail has always been the early 90's anodised purple pk ripper... and ive now acheived it with a little help...
Here is a sneakpeak of my latest project... paul lawson at Custom Colour Anodising did this for me... he wasnt keen on doing frames, but I begged him and told him not to worry if it didnt come out perfect.. and good on him, he did an amazing job. Paul now says after doing this one he would do others too... just make sure you hand him your aluminium frame already HIGHLY poslihed.. as thats the way to get results... I took off the tatty decals and spent hours polishing with peek and autosol etc...
so - here it is before..

and heres a sneak peak of after....

I have everything to build this, apart from time... but im working on it!

now heres the full frame with the headtube sticker on...

and now all decalled up and ready to go! The frame looks brande new. The dropouts were mnt anyway, but this is without doubt the nicest frame ive ever resto'd!

Nice colour Steve, can't you take it to the jungle and get it built there

£50 for the anodising job fellas... amazing value for money. Theres postage both ways on top of that and of course the polishing etc... but worth every penny - it arrives with me today - this photo is what paul took before he sent it!
Will post up more pics when Ive got it!

Steve, that is a good price for the job, I have a nice Race Inc that I was thinking of getting done in candy blue, but maybe an anno job would be a better idea. Did you need to visit to select the colour or did you do it over phone/email?

Cheers

sweet! I just had a Floval done in candy purple. I went the powder route but your anno looks much brighter and nicer. about the same cost... I was expecting mine to be brighter but it ended up dark. mad props dude!

here is mine:

The purple colour is their stock prple anodiseing colour - its perfect and just like the early SE colour they did in the 90's. Check out www.customcolouranodising for a look at their colours, its a basic website but you get the idea of what the colours are like. They can do gold, blue, red, orange, green, clearcoat, purple, etc etc
It takes them a little while to do as they squeeze it in between their industrial mega jobs, but the wait is worth it. I also just got back a pair of alloy Ukai rims that the polished for me - they now look like chrome. Amazing.
Check the thread in the Tech and Restoration Stickies, im sure theres something about custom colour inthere.
cheers!
