His website has pricing info but it was something like $250 for a single color repaint, +$75 for candy or metallic, $70 for clear coats.
Keep in mind that generally he has a lot of bikes waiting to be repaired/built/repainted so it might take about 2-3 months.

No problem, good luck with the build. He offers re-chroming as well, but he outsources it and it's a tad bit expensive in my opinion. I had my fork crown re-chromed and it turned out really well.

Updated the 1987 Basso Gap with Campagnolo Record 10 components from 2003 and Shamal Ultra Titaniums. The shamals are one of the best wheels I've ridden on, as light as some modern carbon clinchers are ridiculously stiff.

Since Horatio made the first post in the thread, his ‘84 Basso has moved on to my stable. Here she is from last spring. It was gonna be my Eroica rider this year but didn’t happen, so I did my own local ride.

Guess I missed this thread the first few times it popped up. Lot's of Gaps here, which I always have an eye out for. Also always keeping watch for an Astra and, a sort of grail, a Monza.
My 1989 Paris-Roubaix:
My '88 Loto:
My '88 PR next to his older brother, the Loto (I don't have a "glamour" shot of the PR, as I've yet to clean it up and restore it):
And the new boy, the 2019 Diamante SV (bought used at a very deep discount vs new):

My GAP frameset, still hanging, waiting for me to decide what to build it up with. It has those god-awful plastic top tube inserts for the rear brake cable, which seems to have been an experiment in just how far the public could be led by the nose by Italian builders implementing cost-cutting expediencies. The serial number starts with 92, which seems about right for the year, or is that just coincidence?

1984 Gap, this was my first spraygun painting that I undertook. The color is moulton red, looks very brick, in the sun it looks hotter. Originally equipped with Campy Gran Sport my Gap is adorn with Shimano 600 with Dura Ace shifters and mechanicals. This is one I should release due to size, but it just looks so good I hate to see it go.
