Hi all. Looking for a recommendation for a UK paint shop. Painting a frame, fork and stem (rigid frame and fork) in a custom specced colour. Ideally matte with gloss logos.

Looking at Colour Tech, Enigma and Custom Flow. Any thoughts on these or another supplier? Hard wearing finish and crisp graphics are my focus.

Looking for a 4 week turnaround (hence Fat Creations are out).

Thanks!

Armourtex did a great job on my frame, deep in the 'hood @ Armourtex Powder Coating Ltd, D4 – D5, Hastingwood Trading Estate, 35 Harbet Rd, Edmonton, London N18 3HT. I think they might of had a split / change recently, were in Hackney, now N18.

Fat Creations is one of the favourites with pros & teams.
Alistair paints some lovely stuff. His eye for detail is amazing.

Thanks guys. I should have mentioned - it's carbon stuff I'm having painted (if that makes a difference).

I've used Armourtex for powder coat on steel and they were great. Haven't checked if they do the sort of thing I'm after now.

Currently looking into Colour Tech, Custom Flow and Colecoatings.

Armourtex do carbon by the look of it. They did a nice job on my steel tandem (even though I picked the wrong colour...) and were cheap.
