Sorry if this is a repeat question..
I did a search honest..
Has anyone used Pennine Powder coating in Tod?
Am considering a spruce up of an old 531 frame and am not sure it is worth handing £100+ to Bon Jackson
£35 sounds very cheap though?
Don't know about Pennine Powder Coating in Tod specifically, but that's what I've paid going directly to the powder coaters (Colourtec in Wigan), and had a great job done
Wigan is a bit of a treck from Huddersfield.
There is a place in Slaithwite (I can walk there) but they want £60.
Not being tight just realistic when Planet X will sell me a SAB frame for £99.
Theres a place on milnsbridge who did a mates moped frame for £40, cant remember the name but I think it began with P.
thanks to sicklilpuppy.
I will have a google.
Pegasus?
LSN coatings in Castleford. WELL WORTH the trip.. £40 to do frame forks and 2 stems in a metallic fleck silver. Astounding job, needed a little emery cloth to remove a bit of overspray(powder - they masked everything off properly without instruction as they do a lot of bikes) but I'd expect to have to do this anyway. I entrusted them with my precious 1994 Kona Kilauea and they did an astounding job. They have a very good reputation on Retrobike as a lot of the locals in West Yorks use them.
They do LOADS of finishes - fancy a Matt black? Fades? flouro? Loads to choose from. Great guy who runs it too.

They also did my Mk1 DMR trailstar:

Cheers Robdob,
Kona look mint..
As does DMR
I think I will give them a ring.
The one in Slawit is a bit wham bam thank you mam for me, did some bits for me which I wasn't too charmed with. Nice people but that doesn't help anyone if the finish is sloppy.
Id be looking at the pics above and going for a careful pro job.
Been warned off Slawit one before.
Pegasus want £60
Would happily hand over £40 for job in pics above though.
Cheers everyone for your help.
