Hey guys.
I was hoping to see if anyone knew of a good place to get a bike painted in Sydney.
Iv decided not to upgrade my TCR so I thought a refresh might be a good alternative.
Thanks

I would advise against powder coating for carbon. Firstly, the prep work for powder coating typically involves blasting, usually soda or bead, which are gentler than the traditional sand-blasting, but still pretty aggressive, and secondly the powder needs to be baked, which is not great for the resin that binds the carbon fibres.IamGroot wrote:I'm not in Sydney but any powder coating place could help.
Not in Sydney, but Paint My Bike in Brisbane are specialists in custom bike painting.
I had a thought, but it got run over as it crossed my mind.
