Sloar does excellent work. I have his former Colnago. His experience from the Frameset Respray thread below:

"Since no one has covered the do it yourself job, i'll do it. if you have a aircompressor it can be done fairly cheap and easy. i have a sandblaster so thats what i use. but chemical stripper is easy to use and pretty cheap. once thats done i like to sand the bare frame to make sure i got everything smooth. i've used different brands of guns, but my favorite is a little detail gun from harbor frieght that was $12. primer 24.99 a quart, color 24.99 a quart and clear 24.99 a quart. i've painted outside in the cold and wind and still have gotten good results. wet sand inbetween coats and you can get a very nice look. so far i have painted 5 bikes this way and have been very happy with them. the paint has held up great and i have had no problems."
