Recommended Painters in Eastern US

[tc]

For those that have had frames painted in the Eastern US, can you recommend a painter?  Anyone to stay away from?

Thanks,

Tom

Nathan Barnes in Pelham, AL has done excellent work for me on 2 bikes with good turn around and afordable pricing. nbarnes2339 at yahoo dot com if you want to get in contact.

I had good luck with Bilenky in Philadelphia and I also had a good experience with Hanford Cycles, also in Philadelphia. There is Franklin frames in Ohio if that is closer and I know folks who have had work done there and been happy.

The Color Factory in Waretown, NJ does inexpensive paint jobs.  I'd call them C+ grade (If Joe Bell is A+); not great on detail work (like filling in lug panels), but you can get something stripped. blasted, painted 1 color, decaled and clear coated for ca $200 (not including the decals).  This is less than many charge for powder coat.  Paint will be thick, but it passes the 5 foot test. 

For a much better paint job try Franklin Frames in OH.  You'll pay more, but the detail work and overall quality is better.

My single coat with blast and prime was $120.  My Ram with cream headtube, fork crown and lug windows done right and decals applied under 2 clear coats was $240.  Pics if interested.  This is the guy in Pelham.

  Yes , in Ohio I've had a custom built by Franklin Frames and a repair/repaint of a Bombadil.  Very Nice for single color paint jobs I requested !  He used Dupont Imrom paint though he may have others.
