Totally. Noah/Suzanne repainted my wife's city bike with one of their "one colour special" deals, which doesn't include any deluxe finishing steps or repairs, for CAD$325. THAT is a good deal but best suited to a new frame or one that can just be stripped and sprayed. The paint was indeed lovely, smooth as glass (it's a little worse for wear now though).
