as the title says really, I want a option of colours not on the badside of £100
any experiences/.
Do you want paint or powdercoat? Powder coat is much cheaper, faster and tougher.
For the latter I'd say find a specialist locally, because it's really easy to do, lots of places do it cheap. Every industrial estate has at least one powder coater.
Bristol way?
ABC Powdercoaters in Nailsea - had about 6 frames done there so far.
Bombproof finish but you have to mask / clean some faces after.
DH frame last year - front triangle/swing arms x 2/ fork lowers and crowns x2/2xcranks in white + MRP in Black (3 pieces) £45 inc shotblasting.
Bargaintastic (even with having to clean out bearing faces etc)
is there anything special i should note before they go wild with shot blasting and eat my frame alive? thats my main concern
thx 🙂
Just shove an old bottom bracket in while its being shot-blasted. Thats all you have to worry about reaay.
`and powdercoating is the way forward. Colourtech in Wigan did my frame. It was ridiculously cheap and the finish is absolutely bomb proof
any pics and a rough price? thanks (what about bearing surfaces? leave old bearings in?
