Bicycle Mechanics - painting/powerdercoating around DC?
11-19-07, 11:15 AM Can anyone tell me where I can get a steel
frame painted in the region of Washington, DC? I'm just looking
for something basic and durable, like a good powdercoat, but
done right... and cheaper is better :D  A friend of mine got it
done in B'more for about $100, but I've heard of people on here
who got good paint jobs done for $60-80 and would like to know
some recommendations around DC. Thanks!  11-19-07, 11:22 AM I

done in cool metalic green. When I got it back, the color of the
green was somewhat different where it covered the different

paint. It did not look horrible, b
