« on: December 01, 2007, 05:55 PM »
Hi ive just got an old skyway streetscene f+f that needs painting, i do know a good painter but is powder coating better for the full resto job and if so can anyone recomend somebody.
Also anyone know of the original colours of this model, i got out of it before they were made butg im gagging to get it done always wanted a skyway as a kid.
Thanks in advance.

Trust me, you will not be disappointed not only does Dan do a fantastic job, spray or powdercoat but he's one of the best blokes you'll ever meet  :daumenhoch:

I dont know anyone who can strip it so if i can pay you to do all i would feel better but its up to you, also i have to get a brand new kona frame painted, its frame only brand new and painted from the factory but its green and needs to be a bright orange is that a colour you can do, i can supply pics and everything im just trying to make sure im not gonna waste your time.

It's a long story.  It just came out of someones mouth one night and tickled us all - including Dan - still makes me smile now.

Dan's a pro. If the colour exists then he can get it.  He might ask you to choose your bright orange from a chart, if you're unable to get the code for it. But rest assureed it'll look the dogs once it's done  ;)

Bit confused by that last post....   :-\

Anyhoo, I'm a freestyler, only ride ramps and parks.  But yeah, get yourself along to a meet, they're a good crack and everyone's pretty sound.  If racing is your thing, might be worth you checking out the new Dagenham racetrack.  Get in touch with Ratty and look in the Old School Series Racing section.  Plenty going on in racing these days   :)
