It's like any thing.. you get what you pay for!
But mind you…. I got my cove re-powder coated last month.. ESP in Glasgow, they shot blasted it first taped it up in all the correct places, all in, it cost me £40.
At that price i wasn't expecting it to be any thing special but I was very impressed with the top quality job they did.
There prices do go up depending on what they have in stock and what kind off paint you want, but for me at £40….. I'm defo going to get a year out of it and probably a lot more thanks to Helli-tape.
After all it is a mountain bike that gets ridden in the UK, in crap weather, it ain't going to stay shiny for long 😉
