|   frame repainting | sjuhan
Dec 9, 2001 9:00 AM | | Can someone suggest a good place to send a frameset to to get repainted. I have a Klein Pulse that needs to be repainted. I was told that repainting by Klein is extremely expensive. Also, about how much should i expect and is it even worth it? Thanks. |

I have a 98 Klein Pulse Comp and the paint after one year started too peel off at the weld joint at the bottom near the bottom bracket shell and bottom of the down tube. Eric Maves said "During a few years between 97-99 Klein's paint proccess was not very good with the combonations of paint and primer they were using and had many problems with paint not adhering to the frames also causing the paint to chip very easy." He said even though my frame was over 1yr old Klein would repaint my bike FREE OF CHARGE and pay for shipping. All I had to do is take my stripped dwon frame to my local klein dealer to be sent out. Only two things that I regret about the proccess and in buying a Klein.
1. They could not match my color.(Solar Blue, AMAZING COLOR)
I had choose a color according to their 2001 Paint Pallete, but I got a great new color BIG SKY BLUE. What an amazing new paint job. Never got so many compliments that I did before. Also all new updated graphics that are sealed under a layer of clear coat to look like the wre painted on. BEAUTIFUL!!!! Got it back in 1 month.
2.The paint is no more durable to little nics and scrapes from pebbles hitting the paint or minor fall. Unfortunally that is Klein for you. They have the best looking paint jobs but don't last and one reason I might not by a bike again from them.
Any questions e-mail and good luck!
Here is the color! |
