Will blasting hurt my aluminum frame? I only use plastic media for paint removal it is the gentlest blasting method available and will not harm the thin wall aluminum tubing used on today’s bicycles. I use glass beads on the corroded areas, which are also extremely gentle, and I selectively hit the damaged areas just enough to remove the corrosion.

Will paint stick to titanium? Absolutely, it’s the only way I’d ride one. With the brush finish on most ti bikes a little time in the glass bead machine and a good etching primer it will last as well as anything else. I also use an adhesion promoter as a little helper.

Are you going to blast my carbon fiber frame? No. Although the plastic media would not harm the carbon fiber, there really isn’t a reason to go down that far since corrosion isn’t a factor. We’ll simply hand sand the old paint until the desired base is obtained, apply several coats of sealer to hide the old color and paint away

What kind of paint do you use? On most frames I use Dupont finishes such as Imron or Croma-Base but I can spray anything you desire. It is more economical to use Dupont products because I am already set up for it. On Candy finishes as well as most custom finishes I use House of Kolors products. They offer an unbelievable choice of Custom colors and effects and I am factory trained to apply them. It’s more expensive but once you see it you’ll understand why.

Will it be as good as my factory paint job? I like to think much better. Ten years experience repairing and maintaining helicopters in the Gulf’s salt environment gives me a greater knowledge of the effects of salt and corrosion on different metals and how to treat and eliminate it so it won’t come back. The factory isn’t offering that. Also, the products I use are the best on the market and I have been factory trained to use them for maximum effectiveness resulting in an incredible finish.

How will you repair my dents? For a small additional charge, I will apply high quality waterproof fiber filler (very fancy Bondo) to the damaged area and hand sand it until it is no longer visible. After the sealer and paint you will never know it was there.
