Hi, Emanuel---
Yes, Mercian does indeed refinish frames not of their own making. I've used them in the past and am happy with them. They did a lovely, detailed job on some difficult masking of ornate lugs. Bob Jackson also does good refurb. I do agree with Hilary, however, that Argos is England's best.

\r?\n> Doesn't Mercian have a paint/re-paint
\r?\n> service? Will they handle non-Mercian frames? Also, in the
