Anyone know of a rough estimate to get a frame power coated ?

Any recommendations on where to go ?

Cheers

My FS was £35 including shot blasting and all blanking off of holes etc.

Where are you?

Slightly offtopic but is it okay to shot blast aluminium or is it better to chemically strip the paint? Just wondered as the tube thickness can be very thin and I saw an alloy bike on eBay where it had literally had a hole from where they had been shot blasting it.

Damn... I only looked at this thread hoping there was actually a 'power' coating - could really do with one myself! 😆
