COMMENTS:

I have only one bike, a 1988 Holland in Reynolds 653 with some custom features, and it's going in to Joe Bell for its 4th paint job (not counting painting a new fork in 2003) as soon as he has an opening. Yes, I crash a lot. Joe's attention to detail (those tiny contrasting color accents in the lug windows!) is beyond reproach. When our first experiment with a pink pearl coat over blue to get an electric blue effect didn't work, he repainted it for free without a blink. He went outside the box to non-Imron and found a genuine Ferrari Red for it on the last repaint.
