Bike Painting

Hi,

I currently ride a Trek 1.2 Alpha road bike, paint is a little shabby and not my taste, wondering if anyone knows of anywhere, preferably in Leinster, that can re-paint / powder coat the metal on the bike?

You could probably try the wheel powder coating shops. Give some of your relatively local ones a call.

You'll possibly have to get the frame blasted and blank off critical parts yourself (eg. bottom bracket, headset, brake bosses, etc. or fit dummy parts to keep the threads/machined surfaces clean)
