hi people,


I recently bought a Bianchi road bike and I'd love to repaint the thing 'cause the colors aren't that great...

question:

How do I go about getting a paintjob that would rival a factory paintjob? Would I have to strip the bike all the way down to the metal or should I just paint over the existing paint?


what about decals? Does anyone know if someone prints custome decals or something to put on the bike after the paint job?


thanks for any help.
