Just looking to renovate an old steel frame.

Rather than stick a pin in the Yellow Pages, any experiences of powdercoaters in the Bath/West Wilts area?

Cheaper the better, too.

Ta.

Bit further afield but ABC Enamelling in Nailsea do very good, very tough paint for aorund £30 including stripping the old paint, etc. You do have to mask it yourself though.

I can't for the life of me remember a name, but I am sure there is a place on the West Wilts trading estate in Westbury that has been recommended as being cheap and/or bike friendly.

Don't Argos Racing Cycle in Bristol will just do that ? I know it's Somerset, but they've been great with me fixing my bike.

AMT on the West Wilts Trading Estate do a lot of stuff for us at work.
I have seen them doing frames and forks for some small local bike builders and hence know what to mask off.

That sounds good - I'm looking to get my DH frame done in a few months time.
What sort of cost and any photos of the finished frame?

Got my heckler done at ABC enamelling, Nailsea. £40 including blasting and powder coat. Took 2 weeks turnaround and was very happy with the finish which has also proved to be very tough too.

They did get a small amount of powder coat on the bb thread so had to get that chased out by a bike shop. That aside i'm very happy with them.
