Hello all.
<This is my first post here, so if it's in the wrong place, or contravenes any rules, don't hesititate to berate me.>
I have bought a full-susser MTB (via a well-known online auction site) which was described as having a "totally reconditioned" frame. Having received said bike, it's clear that the seller and I have differing opinions as to the meaning of "totally reconditioned".
The frame only (not the swingarm) has been sprayed. Badly. Without the swingarm having been removed. That's it. Two of the original decals are visible under the new paint, as are the chips in the original paint (especially along the top tube) and the original paint in several hard-to-reach areas (eg. between gussets).
My questions are:

My questions are:
- Would anyone here consider "totally reconditioned" to be an accurate description of a frame in this condition?
- Could anyone recommend a company/person to recondition the frame, preferably from personal experience, and give me an idea of cost.
