Can anyone recommend a decent powder coater, I know Triple S are good, also heard good things about Armourtex. Any others…?

ta.

There was a good one at the cycle show called Windridge who can do fades and all sorts. Not your 40 quid local I'm afraid but the work looked good.

If it's just a bike that needs coating then there will be 5 within ten miles of your house, look them up in yellow pages. They'll all be prepared to do it for a few quid. If it's a labour of love then go to one of the online places you've highlighted above.

I got some forks coated white for a tenner at the local ironwrought factory, they did a splendid job, couldn't fault it.

armourtex good – £45 plus £15 for optional clear coat/sparkles
