I have my frame resprayed last week at Tallaght Power Coating. Ask for Jeff. As it happens, they're not in Tallaght, but on the Lower Ballymount Road.

You can see the results here.

Spraying it yourself could be fun. I could see that. However, I know myself too well to think I would have the patience to strip the bike back to bare metal, prime it, spray it and seal it.

I can't imagine you can save the decals that are on there already.
