Nathan,

The big problem with painting here in California right now are the latest environmental regulations concerning the paint itself.

I've heard that some painters are having problems with the new primer not sticking to the frames or the paint not sticking to the primer.

We may become a powdercoat only area!

Perhaps before long we'll have another option when it comes to a worthy frame restorer. We'll see. I would think some of the other well-known guys doing this kind of work in California could appreciate the thought of a newbie picking up a spray gun, and making their waiting lists less overwhelming.
