I've got a 2001 Specialized S Works M4 hardtail that’s looking a bit tired so I was thinking of getting it stripped and powder coated.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good firm to use in the Notts/Derbyshire area?
Will the heat they use damage the frame?
What about stickers afterwards? I'm not near my bike at the moment but I think the originals are lacquered over to protect them. Where can you get stickers from and how to do you protect them on a powder coated frame?
Is there anything else I should know before I go ahead with it?
if near Derby try Derwent [url= http://http://derwentenamellers.com/ ]link[/url] i have used them in the past and they have always been quite reasonable and given good advice
I used a guy in pinxton to do a transition vagrant but had to get it dipped and stripped elsewhere, I can't remember the name but they are on brook hill industrial estate
There is a motorcycle shop in Shirebrook that are quite respected in the area for doing a good job!
Mattzzz, thats perfect as I live in Pinxton 🙂
+1 for the shop in shirebrook, my brother uses him all the time.
I had to go to a place in Netherfield for the dipping , the powdercoaters were really good as there was a bit of a mark in the coat on the seat stay and he wouldn't let me have it back without sorting it first- a true sign of pride in their work
And how did you go on for stickers etc afterwards or did you just leave it the plain colour?
