Good place to Powder Coat

Saint aka ML · 14-04-2015, 11:46 PM

Looking for a good and relatively cheap place that can remove current Powder coat from my rims and apply satin black instead.
Somewhere around London.

Any recommendations?

I will also need them to do same procedure on the frame when I have picked the colour plus few other bits and pieces.

Chaps in Preston were tops, did my four foot rest hangers in less than a week and the finish was fantastic, I live in Devon and wouldn't go anywhere else

Armoutex won't do Aluminium anymore. Not even to trade.

You'd have to post them, but www.triple-s.co.uk is the place my dad has used for years. Great reputation.

Just a word of warning. General powder coaters bake the powder at around 200 degrees C.
There have been issues with cast Ali wheels cracking and distorting under load (do a google). So I only use a wheel specialist who slow bakes the wheel at a lower temperature, they then paint and lacquer over the top of that. I have just had my wheels back from Pristine Wheels in Woburn (Milton Keynes area) and they did a great job.
Any of the other parts that I had done were powder coated by a general finishing company.

Just a thought but could wheels be stripped and anodised rather than coated?

you'd want to polish the hell out if them before anodizing to get a good finish

Have a look at sudden impact motorcycles. They can do the complete job start to finish of differing components.

I've used them for several pieces of work.
