I just got a "new" track bicycle - a 1980 Matsuri. Very cool lugs, in great shape, but the paint has seen better days.
Anyone have any recommendations for a local paintshop around the Seattle-WA area? I'm thinking of a solid color frame, nothing too fancy, I might want the lugs a different color. Any idea how much that might run me?

R&E's the one I know too. It costs about $200 for a custom paint job on one of their bikes; not sure if it would be different on a non-Rodriguez bike.

Mimi- who is doing your dh's Davidson's paint?
I wonder if TiCycles does their own paint on the frames they build.

Thanks!
Most excellent! I will call around and post what I find... I did a search for "bicycle paint seattle" and came up with something like "cycling with body paint"... not what i was looking for...
Someone also suggested auto body shop... so I will try there too...
