I have only resprayed one bike and that was because it spent 12 years on the deck of a sailboat and needed media blast to get the rust off. It was my first racing bike and I love the bike , but after 2 coats of rustoleum primer and numerous top coats and sanding , I will not do it again. I have seen powder coated or pro spray jobs that look great so I would definitely get the bike professionally done. It is expensive , but I spent a couple of weeks sanding and spraying just to get an acceptable result. Joe
