Timeline for a Repaint (for a friend)

[Bicycle Belle Ding Ding!]

No, not for me, I love my paint! But my new RivSister friend acquired a 55 cm mermaid Platypus and she, like Heather (who dreamt of pumpkin) and me (who coveted raspberry), can only be truly, sublimely happy if her Platy is a lemon meringue yellow (with a bit of metallic). 

She will take her frame to D&D but hasn’t actually been able to arrange this yet. She was hoping it could be done rather quickly, but I suspect there will be a wait. Can anyone here, who has had a Rick-Repaint, please advise as to timeline? Are we talking weeks? Months? Several months? 

We would MOST appreciate your input! 

Thanks in advance,

Leah

Finally, a question I can help answer!

Back in October, Rick at D&D painted my forks and he did a fantastic job. RBW advised me to expect a four-week backlog; Rick said the turnaround was about two to three weeks.

Rick sandblasted my forks, matched the color, he added an accent I wanted, and gave me a small bottle of touch-up paint. I picked up my forks about ten days after I dropped them off.

My forks were a small project (as opposed to an entire frame) and I can’t speak for Rick's schedule, but I can say I couldn’t be happier with the finshed result. Rick is amazing.

Ah! What a thrilling answer, Matthew! I am so happy and relieved that it seems to be weeks and NOT months that she will have to wait. Wonderful, and thank you!

Rick painted two bikes (frame and fork) for me last year.  It was about a two-and-a-half month turnaround time from the day I dropped it off.  I also told him that I wasn't in any hurry.  And they are beautiful, of course!

Such interesting experiences and timelines compared to my experience. My timeline from shipment to receipt was substantially longer than all others reported. I hope that I am the odd exception and I am pleased with the result

I didn't ask for it, but I appreciate the detail of painting the outside of the headbadge to match

Oh wow, I love the repainted headbadge—clever idea, and a flawless execution! Instant bookmark for my future custom. Thank you!

Thank you for this exciting news! I was preparing for a long wait. Now I'm hopeful to be ready for summer riding!
