I can't completely volunteer him for this, but I know Ed Litton has rather
masterfully repaired a couple of frames and "spot painted" them so you really
can't tell. A lot depends on the color, paint etc. I have a Steelman made of
Excell, that had one of a bad batch of head tubes, that Brent replaced and Ed
repainted. It's a complicated paint scheme and you can not tell.
I think it's fair to say he would want to be the one doing the repair if he
was going to do the painting.
Ed can be reached by phone at 510-237-1132 or his email is
edlitton@earthlink.net. Email is good for an initial contact, for discussing
a project at length, he'd rather talk on the phone.
