Powder Coating options in/near Oxford

Interesting thread resurection. I'm getting my frame and fork back form fine finishing tomorrow. £60 for blasting and powdercoating. Said it would take a week or two and took 4 weeks though which sucked. Will let you all know results tomorrow.

Nice. Would be great to see pics when you get it done.

That is a pretty decent price for getting it blasted and coated.

is that with a laquer finish as well?

I wanted it raw, so it was a clear powdercoat. I think it's the same price if you want a colour though. I didn't manage to get there last week and I gotta wait til thursday to pick it up now. I'll post some pics then

So you happy with the finish? Got any pics?

Will be heading down end of the month. £60 for frames and forks right?

I'd also be interested to know if it turned out as you wanted and to see any pictures. Considering getting a powdercoat done myself.

I couldn't give a flying....oh wait. wrong thread.

post pics, did you leave it in a bucket of salty water for a year for that 'faded patina' under the clearcoat?

You could try contacting Oxford bike works to see who they use. http://www.oxfordbikeworks.co.uk/OxfordBikeWorks/Home.htm
Rich is a really nice guy. I know they get some of their frame done in Oxford.

Paid £70 cash for a single colour wet spray on one frame and fork and £100 for a whole tandem!

Awesome. Funnily enough it is a tandem I want doing.

They did the rack at the same time, came out well
