- Chemical stripping: Standard for metal frames, the chemical stripping will remove the existing rust and paint, preparing it for the new finish. This process preserves chrome plating and can reveal otherwise unaddressed structural issues.
- Alignment for Waterford, Gunnar and Paramounts as well as most other steel frames.
- Polyurethane prime coating.
- High quality base auto paint and clear coats.
- A wide range of available decals: Especially for Waterfords, Gunnars and Paramounts. Other decals may be available by special request. If powder coating is requested, decals are applied over the top of the final finish.
- Clearcoat finish.
- Optional Anti-Corrosion treatment: Protect the insides of tubing from the effects of road salt and other sources of rust.
For steel frames, we can make a number of repairs and alterations:
- Removing and replacing bosses.
- Rear dropout spacing adjustments.
- In the case of Waterford built frames and US-built Schwinn Paramounts, we can replace a wide range of tubes.
