    I couldn't find someone in Ireland to do it, so I used Retrodecals in England.

    I emailed a couple of different sign makers, vinyl printers etc, but I either got no reply, or I was told a single batch would work out too expensive

    Thanks cletus,
    When collecting the frame yesterday in the body shop, I asked them too and it turns out their next door neighbour, EDGESIGNS, does that...
    I asked them and he confirmed that he can do custom decals and he told me to send in the file for a quote.
    I'll update the thread as soon as I have something.

    I did a diy respray last month. Cork Signs did vinyl decals for me that were fine, but just text so nothing fancy. It was a challenge finding anyone.
    How much was the respray?

    Not a respray, but a first spray... on a new raw steel frame.
    I think he did a great job. it was 200 because I picked a metallic colour. A plain colour would've been 150

    This was pretty much the final clear coat on my project. Badge was bought from the UK, Reynolds supplied me with a new "531" badge and Cork Signs did the vinyl "British Eagle" print for me.

    Thanks, Spray.bike for the paint, really like the copper finish. The old paint stripping was the hard part, plus waiting months for the warmer weather to return to help with the drying.

    How much did the paint cost

    I ended up spending about €40 on spray.bike primer, extra 1k primer and 2k clear coat and €30 on 2 tins from spray.bike, copper and blue. I probably spent more due to changing colours and getting the 1k primer and 2k clear coat. It's a 28 yr old frame so i was generous with the primer coats. You'd get 2 colours primed and clear coated for less than €50.
