If its a top quality powdercoat then look no further, both mine done there, amazing detail and finishes, Had them both metal flake laquered for the sparkles also they do a podercoat fade in any two colours :razz:

Sorry I should be more specific (but thanks for the replies). I'm looking for somebody that does custom artwork, flames etc.

Have you thought about having a go yourself?
I'm doing some simple 'custom' work on a bike I'm building for my Niece.
I've had the frame powder coated a base white and have rubbed the outer finish off using very fine wet and dry.
I'm going to hand-paint on what I want and then apply a few coats of laquer over the lot.
See Sinnett177's latest project for a really good example (its where I stole the idea from )

Yes I've been watching Mark's post and I have thought about it, but to be honest I have so many other projects at the moment, I'd rather just pass it on to someone that knows what they are doing. To be honest I don't actually know what I want to do, I just know I want something other than a single colour or a fade job. Something that stands out from the crowd.
