    Any recommendations and rough cost of a respray on a carbon road bike frame?

    Highly recommend Chris Custom Design in Scarva just before Banbridge (not Dublin).
    He is on facebook. He resprayed my Noah into Team Lotto colourway and it cost about 350. In fairness there was a decent bit of work involved. Other lads in the club got single colour resprays and was about 150 afair.

    Another nod for Carbontec. Just a fork respray though, not a whole frame.

    I'm in the middle of a DIY respray. It's not as bad as I imagined but it is time consuming, especially the sanding. If the colour scheme is simple, and your bike isn't worth massive money, it might be worth considering.

    I've done a few aerosol resprays on my bikes; mostly steel but one carbon Trek in amongst them.

    Lots of prep gives decent results.


    Check out some of the stuff I've done at https://www.instagram.com/paul.carroll.8valve/?hl=en

    Feel free to ask questions.

    This guys channel is what I followed and this video specifically. Pretty much did what he recommended, Got the cans + mask from these guys https://www.nonpaints.com/en/

    Sanding will take you at least 7hrs, Probably more. The rest isn't so bad but it's spread out over numerous days
