Rivendell Paint

[John Bokman]

Segueing off a thread on the new Sam Hillbornes upcoming: How exactly are stock Rivendells painted? They are so glossy looking, so thick and zesty, they don't look powder-coated to my eye. If they are powder-coated, how do they achieve this effect? Regardless of how they are painted, who does the painting, and where? I have yet to see a better paint job on a production bike than a Rivendell.

All Rivs use liquid paint, all the current MIT models are painted where they're built in Taiwan. I don't know who the painters are but they're very good.

Aren't the Hubbuhubbah's pwder coated?

Possibly, I forgot about those.

I seem to recall the reason the tandems were powder coated was they were too long to fit in the paint booth
