Powder coating - Aurum / Vaz / Armourtex / Respray gallery

Do you happen to know what these reasonable prices may be? For a frame?

£80-100 + VAT

Just paid £108 for frame + forks [with lacquer] with Aurum

Was that just paint or prep & paint?

Anybody had Cycles in motion, Sheffield do any powder coating? Seems to be a good service, all threads cleaned and bb and head tube finished.

Anymore info on this, like what type of finish etc.? Does it include installation of decals under the lacquer too?

Also has anyone got stuff done from the Vaz bros recently and what are the prices like?

110 ish for 2k paint job. color excellent although slightly flakey. Gave me some of the stuff to re-apply when chips happen.

Didn't ask re: decals and to be honest I'm not sure what systems he uses. I asked for powdercoat with gloss lacquer.

Finish below ...

It's really high build on certain areas (seat stay panto) but apart from that looks great.

@batt Thanks!

@Thrasher - Nice one. Did you come across anyone else that might be worth using?

I cycled past Armourtex Cycles on Hackney Road yesterday.
Not sure if they are related to the old Armourtex.

Costs as follows:
Powder to the People £180
Sandblast, Primer, RAL Colour, Lacquer (Matt, Satin or Gloss)

Frame Protection £140
Sandblast all old paint, dirt and rust + Lacquer seal (Matt, Satin Gloss)

Paint Removal - £90
Sandblast or Chemical clean to remove all old paint, dirt and rust

Feels steep but hey, you got to pay the London rent + staff so...

180??? lols. Get down to VAZ.

£180?! thats £100 more than steve from old armourtex

90 sheets to strip a frame?

£20 from Winston (presumably via Mario).

Pure hipster tax

What am I looking at to bead blast/blast to raw a CAAD10 and then powdercoat clear?

Aurum finishing Ltd is bloody amazing and super cheap. Frame blast + phosphate + lacquer costs just £84.
You may have to chase Steve multiple times to get the invoice tho. He doesn't seem to want to be paid.

Anyone know if a sort of metallic raspberry (kinda ‘deep’ pink) can be done by Aurum ?

Any RAL colour can be done.

Thanks dude - yep I have a ral chart but there’s only a handful of metallic/pearls - couple of silvers etc - wondering if there is way of adding metallic pigment to a flat colour or not. Some of the samples on the stayer board (upthread) look kinda metallic but maybe those are sprayed. ?

He can do any clear top coat with sparkles.
So just ask for it.
Sam has a RAL chart you can look through. There is loads of sexy pearls and metallics in that.

Sam is a cool guy. I bet he can sort it out for you. Just drop him an email or better yet give him a call.

Sweet - thanks

Who's the current go to for a steel frame/fork blast and respray?

What kinda price am I looking at?

if you scroll up the page slightly, you'll see pit outline that very information....

ha, yeh. There is that.

Spoke to Aurum, was told to email aurumltd@hotmail.com for a quote.
