I think we're deficient. There's Matt Attenmacher's shop in Swartz Creek, MI, Doug Fattic in Niles, MI, Franklin down near Columbus, and I don't really know of another one. A Chicago framebuilder, Ron Boi, has all his painting done by Chris Kvale in Minnesota. Maybe McLain's Bikes in Traverse City would know of a good painter in TC - I think there's a lot of fixie activity up there.

I'd also contact Oscar (the owner) at Great Lakes Cycles in Ann Arbor. He's trying to build a very high quality full-service shop, and might have a good painting resource identified. Ditto for John at Continental Bikes in Berkely (I think) on John R Road.

I would think a motorcycle custom painter would have all the skills and tools, no?
