Mongoose Decade restorations
 
I am looking to restore my old 87’ Mongoose Decade bike to gift to my nephew. Looking to have it recoated as close to original color preferably powder coated. I am asking for any recommendations for a shop or someone near Katy/Houston TX Thanks for any help.

I got whatever you need on that. The places you're going to need is this place for the research: Vintage Mongoose - The complete history of your old Mongoose bmx

As far as decals: https://www.bmxproducts.com/collecti...ecals-and-sets and https://porkchopbmx.com/decals-stick...ngoose-decals/

As far as powder coating bmx bikes, the recognized expert is https://www.c4labspc.com/

And parts, I go to either ebay, craigslist, the classifieds at www.bmxmuseum.com, www.porkchopbmx.com, or www.bmxguru.com.

For restoration reference go to the bikes section of bmxmuseum and find a pristine example of one, there's no shortage. As far as decals, if you can't find some, there are a few guys on there that can point you in the right direction on that.

Thank you so much for the info. Do they have color codes on there?

As in what; the original color that bike came in, or the paint codes offered by Mongoose overall.

Would be cool to know the paint codes/paint brands of the 70's and early 80s mongooses supergooses, especially that metallic blue that most of them were. But were they actually powder coated? I'm not sure they were, I remember the paint flaked off pretty easily...
