I have found a seller for a cheap used Brompton bicycle but the colours are awful. Is it possible to have it repainted? I can't seem to find anywhere that does it, is there anywhere?

It is possible to repaint any bike if you want to take the time to do a good job. This means complete dis assembly, cleaning and prepping, painting, then rebuilding the bike. Any paint shop can paint a frame, but it will take a bike mechanic with all the right tools to handle the rest of the job. Unless you are able to handle the preparation, you could spend a good part of the money you saved buying second hand dealing with your colour preferences. How bad is the current colour of your bike?
Around where I live, most people first strip the bike down to the bare frame & then find an auto body shop that has the time to squeeze it in. They will sandblast it, spray paint or powder coat it & then clear coat it. It won’t be cheap either…about $100 to $120. Is it worth it?
If you do decide to go ahead with this project, be sure to keep an inventory of every single part. Know how & where to put it back on.
