The bike community tends to over hype stuff on the west coast.

I'm resonating your musings. Despite the fact that I'm a die-hard, stodgy old self-reliant yankee, I regret that paint was never something that I ever got into more than a rattle-can job. Now that I'm into restorations, I want to do it all myself rather than farm it out. Alas, I will probably just plod along the way I am for now.
