• Going to powder coat a frame at Armourtex. They are charging per frame now but Jamesay said below that there is a group discount and apparently the colour doesn't matter. I will need to confirm this a will let you know tomorrow morning.

    Price without discount: I spoke to them last week and the price for one frame (shotblasting and one layer of powder) is £49. Glossy finish is £15 and metallic £17

  • they charge per frame now.

  • Oh, well, forget it then.

  • They will do a discount for over 5 jobs though!

    do a search for threads on armourtex - you'll find one I started - there were a few people interested, so you might be able to get a group together and get a discount!!

  • I have just decided not to powdercoat something, but go the enamel route instead. But I was thinking about Burgundy.

    I might be persuaded if you need that fifth frame. It'd have to be a really dark burgundy though.

  • Skully - doesn't matter about the colour etc............ you can have what you want!! This was only a verbal promise at the time though!!

  • I'm going to investigate and post back to you.

  • A few of us were intending to get a pearlescent white Hobo was organising it...

  • they do the strip back n all right?

    how much per person then?

  • I may be interested in a dark burgundy. But I would also want a few things done to the frame first, so it wouldn't be straight away.

  • Shit, I forgot to phone them today. Anybody know how something about this discount?

    I spoke to them last week and the price for one frame (shotblasting and one layer of powder) is £49. Glossy finish is £15 and metallic £17.

    I will be honest, if the discount is less than £20 per frame I won't bother organising a collective one. But if it is could those who are interested add themselves to this list?

  • 2 questions.

    1. How long would I be without my bike for?
    2. Do I strip it down first, because I have no fricken clue how to take a BB or headset out.

    I am interested though because my bike would look ace with a decent layer of paint on it.

    1. They have a 2-3 day turn over.
    2. Yes.

    Gonna ring tomorrow morning about whether they'll do a discount for 3 frames. Doubtful though.

    Count me in as long as we don't all have to have the same colour!

  • i'd be up for it if its in a week or two - my bike is in east sussex so i have to go get it...

    how much is it likely to be with the a discount on multiple bikes and does that include a grit blast? also - if i have a ding how can i fill it so it still powdercoats?

  • Right, I have just phoned them and there isn't going to be a discount for different colours. They will have to be the same colour. Therefore, I'm out. Sorry guys.

    Just for future reference: Price for one frame (shotblasting and one layer of powder) is £49. Glossy finish is £15 and metallic £17.

  • Im going to go for navy/dark blue if anyone is interested in sharing that colour??? Im guessing i'll have to cough up the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

  • And out of interest what's the discount if everyone gets the same colour?
