Sound like a decent deal? I thought it did but i'd like to hear from anyone who's had it done.
I hope they've done bike frames before, otherwise they're gonna hate painting that frame. MOst painters are accustomed to shooting onto flat panels, not rounded tubes with junctions everywhere. But $100 sounds good, as long as they are using decent prep materials (you'd be surprised at the crap some shops will use under good basecoat).
