[Closed] Powdercoaters in the Manchester area that you've used?

Bumpy

No one? 🙁

Hora - I used Armacoatings Ltd in Denton. Just off the M60 on a little industrial estate that you can see from the M67.

I had a Bullit done and it cost me £15!!!

The £15 price was based on them putting it in an existing run. So no real choice in colour. I got a dark grey which was nice.

They quoted me £40 to pick a colour but I went for the cheaper option as that was one of the colours I was looking at (fortunate). I think the lady there was called Karen if that's any help.

The line on the 2nd pic is a hair. Not in the powdercoat just floating around. I picked up the decals from Jungle for £25.

Looks good, did they mask all the threads properly?

Sounds good for my CX bike. Do they do the blasting/prep as well?

M6TTF normally you have to premask off - not a biggie. Andyhilton -ta will give them a call.

Ps. When you call them guys please dont say 'WOW THAT IS SOOOOO CHEAP!' - they will then think 'oh cyclists like paying threw the nose it seems' 😉

I paid £35 last time for my Chameleon- however its a fair old trek to Wigan!

I had to strip it so a horrible messy job with Nitromors. Removed the shock, bushings etc and they masked everything off. I thought it was a really nice job. Bullit was too small so I ended up selling it. I want another one now though 🙁

did you use colourtech a Hindley Green Hora?

i'm due to take my Hustler and wondered what they were like

Slight hijack; Hora did you get my mail about payment for the N-Gear I sent you?

did you use colourtech a Hindley Green Hora?

Yes. Make sure you mask off all the threads etc thow- thats the only critism. I'll post an old piccy up now.

Ok lets sort it out via Email tomorrow please? Thanks

There's a good coaters in Haslingden/Rossendale that I've used 3 or 4 times for frames-might be a bit far though if your central Manchester.

did you have to strip the old paint off hora or did you just tidy up the rough bits?

I stripped it myself. TBH I thought they would cover all the bits off (why would they?)

Rusty- Im after the specific colour RAL5018 so dont mind abit of a travel tbh- Quite a few that I've called say its a special order item only and they'd need to order in 5kg's (£11kg first).

Do you have the contact details for yours?

Had both of my Brooklyn's coated there and the finish was like glass.
£35 for the hardtail, and £65 for the Racelink front & swingarm, brake arm, and a pair of Profile cranks. All masked properly-they're used to dealing with motorbike parts.

Had them both done in black didnt ask about one off colours.

You really want it anodising. Worth the extra

Rusty- contacted. My Santa cruz is anodised. Its a bugger to clean properly.

30-40quid. Im going to strip it myself to speed up the process.
