Since this thread has recently been referenced feel free to add more and I'll update the list.

As he said looking for powder coaters in Essex / Suffolk

I used to use Armourtex in East London but the last frame they powdercoated for me didn't come out as good as I hoped, so I'm also looking for recommendations in Essex.

Re:

If you look on the first page there's a list of painters. The London ones don't seem too popular though.

I've used Retro Coatings in Sandbach, Cheshire a few times recently.
They're not bike specialists, but have had no problems.

Re:

Was looking for someone local to spray up my '94 Specialized frame/forks/stem, possibly two colours (it's not gonna be a period correct build, something different)
What's your thought on this from a local spray paint shop.. :shock:


''Hi Graham,
Thanks for your enquiry, it's a little difficult to give an accurate idea of price as there would be a difference in what type of colour you require i.e. Metallic/Pearl/candy and color amounts so I will quote for 2 metallic colours. For that your looking at £400-£500 that will also include dipping and blasting the old paint.''
