Looks like I might be going to Sacramento for a repair. Do you know of any
painters or powder coaters there?

Peter M: One paint shop on the East Coast is Airglow in Atlanta. I had a
bike (pre-Rivendell era for me) painted there and I was very pleased with
the work, as well as the price. The wait was a bit long, and recall that
someone on this forum also had a bike painted by Airglow and was
I'm the Airglow customer who had to wait longer than expected. It was a 1st

some persistent encouragement on my part to get the job finished within my
lifetime. I recommend the work done by Hill Clarke (the painter there) as
Not to Hijack this thread but there seems to be a copious amount of choices
on the west coast but not much on the east. A friend of mine wants to get
his 70's Peugot repainted, i know the paint job will cost more than a new
bike but he is attached to it and it is rough looking. Anyone know a
What frame is it, how much do you value it, is it special, or is it a
workhorse that you just want to get fresh paint on? Tghe answers could
make a big difference in the resulting recommendation.
If it were one of my frames, and if I were in the Bay Area again, it would
go to either DD or

Thanks for all your input on this. Still trying to figure out what to do. What
are the general differences between powder coating and painting? durability and
longevity? matte finish versus glossy or clearcoat? can I paint the lugs if I
powder coat? I'm new at this so any info is very helpful!
I'll second Ed Litton. He's not your guy for a inexpensive job, but his
work is excellent. He paints Bruce Gordon's bikes, I saw hanging in his
shop all sorts of fancy old and new frames.

if you're lookin for quick and cheap, leons in east oakland has done a
great job for me more than once. it's $90 and you don't lose lug lines at
all. You're just gonna have to do some facing and chasing when you get it
back. otherwise, i love em.

Not saying Maas is a master of wet paint, but they do do wet paint as
discussed on the their website: Liquid Coating
We use two component polyurethane coatings to meet the 2.8 EPA regulations
for solvent emissions and meeting the high performance properties required
by the business machine
Does Maas Bros. do paint or just powder coating? Was it a lugged bike? I've
seen lugs get lost in powdercoat, so a good bike-friendly powdercoater is
worth knowing about.

Spectrum, who's often touted the best Powder coater in the US, uses a
special finer powder to improve lug line definition is still not anywhere
near a good wet paint job. Depends on how picky you are too.

Steelman used to use Maas for all his powder so I think they must do a way
better than average job. They do wet, but not sure about the quality of
that
like I said, depends on if you are picky or not. The lug lines don't go
away, they are just not as crisp with Powder coat. BTW, Steelman uses
Spectrum for his bikes frequently. ( according to hos website gallery).
I've had a few bikes done by Spectrum and the lug lines were not even
close
Hi Daniel -
Maas Brothers only does powder coating.
My frame is lugged. I think that given the price of a Maas Brothers powder
coat, it's an exceptional value. I have several other bikes - including one
with an infamous Joe Bell paint job. I think the powder coated one comes
pretty close
DD in (I think) San Leandro. They (well, he) paint most of Riv's
production bikes.

I recommend Maas Brothers Powder Coating in Livermore:

They did a fantastic job on my frame (lots of smoke damage, melted paint,
etc.) and only charged me $150.
