Sigh. Other than doing it myself, is there anybody I can trust to

1. do a good job

2. get it done on time (ie I won't have to ring them up to mither them two weeks later)

3. do a good job

I want to change the 'fast red' (it's brown, let's face it) on my BFe to something less brown.

My dad got one of his motorbike frames powder coated in a place in Darlington, good price and very quick turnaround and good quality. Can't remember the name of the place but it was on Albert hill industrial estate.

I've used romax before

They did a good finish - but my old aluminium frame was quite thin and it got a few holes in it from the sand blasting.

+1 for LSN coating, i dropped it off chose a colour, they said £60 2 weeks, rang me after a week and said all done, that'll be £30 :0)

I've heard of LSN, thanks. It might be worth a trip down.

I always used betablast. Always did a good job of my frames and always a good price. Tell them what you want masked though.

+1 for Bettablast, I never had any problems with them not masking what needs to be masked. It's quite a thick finish, though - one bike I had to buy a bigger seat post clamp!

Another vote for Bettablast, they did a kids frame for me just before Christmas in about 2 days. Bottom bracket shell, headtube and everything else was masked off well.

Another happy bettablast customer here. Seemed to know his bike painting - was particular about masking threads etc. and knew what was important to protect (press fit interfaces). Nice finish and minimal thread cleaning needed.
