Hi everyone,

It’s winter and I’m going to strip my Trek Fuel EX. It’s covered in scratches and 2 slight dings. I therefore want to get it resprayed.

Can someone please tell me about the process and recommend me a quality business that understands MTB’s?

Do I have to take the bearings out? Do they mask it all up? Will there be a quick turnaround or is waiting weeks likely?

Anyone on here good (professional) enough to do it and want to make some money?

Thanks in advance!

I use Smillie Paint for all my painting. The quality is second to none.

Neil at Atlantic Boulevard in Bury. Absolutely fantastic and he can reproduce any frame decal. Takes a bit of time but worth the wait.

I used Armourtex in London, very good finish and the guy recognised my old frame as an inbred and had, at the time, recently got an alfine 11 so mtb conversant. Took about a week turnaround

Superior Powder Coatings, in Leyland (Lancs.)

The owner Mark is a rider, and took very good care of my frame!
