Does anyone know who can spray paint bike frames and how much they charge? Or anyone who can print bike decals or where i can get bike decals from? Thanks :)

Greg does decals and I know Stefan (Stevo) does spraying. Both prices vary depending on what you need.

I do both bike spraying and decals. I also do custom paint jobs on bikes and helmets that include airbrushed art and logos etc. Pricing depends on what you want and the complexity of the design. PM me the details and I can give you an estimate and examples can be seen on my site www.gw-designs.co.uk/home

You can also look at Argos Cycles http://www.argoscycles.com they are very good. I have used them and will soon be using them again. They also do most of the pro teams.
Prices depend on number of coats and what effects you have.

You can spray over good powder coat, flat it right back with coarse then medium 3m pads first

Powder coating is good for cheap one colour designs and is quite tough and is now coming in lots of great colours. Wet painting however has a greater variety of colours and effects and you can also get one or more colour fades and also custom airbrushing. Done well it can be tough too. There have been questions regarding baking of powdercoated frames making them weaker but I would consult with a reputable powder coater first. Wet painting doesn't need the temperatures like powdercoating to cure the paint. I have heard of older magnesium fork lowers exploding but haven't known anyone personally it's happened to so can't comment on that.
I am a bit biased towards wet painting but powdercoating does have it's place.

I am looking at getting my Santa Cruz resprayed and will probably use Argos in Bristol as have heard good things. I wanted powder coating, but they don't offer that. Instead they have a limited range of colours that are 2pack epoxy.

It has to be some flavour of blue, although the 2pack epoxy only comes in white, black, mid grey (RAL Telegrey 2), mid Brunswick green, British racing green and tango orange.

Colours page is here

But it's going to have to be blue.

That's a shame about their colour range
I'm sure you'll find another firm to take care of it for you
