Right Ive serviced the rails myself and they're silky smooth even without grease which I will pump through when the bike gets put back together.
Luckily I remembered we have a car body shop just down our village, phoned up and they said bring it right down which I did. Met this guy whos a chairman of Andover BMX Club, been racing BMX and spraying his own frames since it was possible. He said he'd do it for me and I estimate the cost at about £100-120! Apparently they'd polish it to take all the old paint off so that the new paint would stick, then they'd powdercoat and then apply graphics and clearcoat. They advised against water based paint, apparently it scratches really easy. So its down there at the moment, hoping they'll do a good job..have decided on a different paint job..il post pics of a photoshop later

yup, have thought long and hard..and ive tried it out in photoshop...if im spending £130+ on a respray I want something custom, and if I decide I want the yellow back for when I sell it on Il just have it resprayed again. I think it looks pretty damn good like this!  |

This is not the production version of 303, it looks like one of the prototypes. I am looking forward to seeing the final paint job |

Was the only picture I could find of good quality to photoshop with, having a black background and good contrast helps when your changing colours..now I look at it it does look a bit different!
