WHAT ARE THE BEST BRANDS?
Sorry, we don’t provide product recommendations. We suggest consulting sources like Consumer Reports when choosing brands. Most consumer and laboratory reviews of paints and other coatings suggest that “you get what you pay for” – higher-cost paints are often higher quality, will last longer and will have better hiding power.
There are not really any best brand bicycles, except, of course, for ours. (: But really, pretty much any bike shop brand is good. Most manufacturers use the same components on their bikes, within the same price range. Thus, a $400 bike by “brand X” will be about as good as a $400 bike by “brand Y”. Therefore, it’s fair to judge a bike by the price rather than by the brand.
