I had my Geometron done in Sheffield by Cycles in Motion. They only do bikes and they did a mint job. Would use again.

I paid £70 to get a frame done down in Sussex, wouldn't say it was the best job in the world but it has been very durable and looks fine.

Price can vary a huge amount but so can the quality. Triple S in Bingley were always the go to for a great finish or LSN in Castleford for decent quality and cheap. Triple S used to offer postage. I'll try to dig out my old retro bike thread about recommended powder coaters.

I had a Charge Plug blasted and powder coated at CM Coatings in Hereford. £55 for F&F, metallic base and gloss top coat.
