I found some blistering on my protovelo Romulus and after getting quotes from Coast and Waterford, I decided to have my local auto body shop respray the frame. It’s a single color with no panel on the head tube and no decals. For $75 I got a beautiful respray that matches the original color on the fork perfectly. It took a day and I avoided the hassle of shipping. Something to consider. If it was my orange Ram, I might get on the Joe Bell list and go through the effort.
