Powder coating - Aurum / Vaz / Armourtex / Respray gallery

What is the £45 minimum charge per colour about? If I want to get my rim done (w/ making tape over spokes etc) will it be £15 + £45 or just circa £15?

Just one rim will be £45 no matter what. Buddy up with someone who wants bits resprayed in the same colour.

Hmm. Think I might just paint it myself. Its for a beater and I found a good tut with the search function.

Hmm, I want to respray mine, baby blue anyone?

Well done, young padawan. For future reference, you're probably referring to this.

Yeah thats the one. The thing is I am the most impatient person in History. I missed the Brighton overnighter because I didnt have any wheels and it killed me a bit inside. I dont think I can last any longer w/o having a bike. Ive been having to take the bus lately and its horrible.

Waiting for the paint to dry would drive me nuts I'd probably just whip it on to my bike and fuck up the paintwork as I only have one front wheel.

anyway. Im thinking Orange front rim on a Dark Blue Peugeot. =)

this was done back home. you can choose metallic colours, rather than the sparkle, the metallic doesn't seem to soften the lugs so much

are you sure that's a powdercoat? cause the coat seemed pretty thin for a powdercoat.

I got the girlfriends done in mint green (RAL 6019 I think) with metallic laquer, which is as close to metalflake as you will get at Armortex, Dayno... Certainly aint NJS style triple flaked glitter bomb effect, if that's what you were angling after!

The metallic glitter / flakes are pretty small, and defo show up / work better on her green, than they do on a lighter colour. i.e. my white frame.

mate, those profiles belong on my bmx dude..... u have done a nice job for her there man.... yeah well - I'll ask for double scoop metal flakes!!

Loving the fanta orange 2003 but quite fancy a bit of 3027 rasberry with a sparkle ... just need to get the bb out of the frame

looks like they're not open Sat morning ?

yes i'm sure. have you ever tried touching up a paint chip on metallic paint, it tends to sink into chip.

@ IRLeo - love the nervex lugs, very sextastic.
DMCZone - amazing paint choice.

thanks jacqui i love em too, although the bike has been sat in my hallway for the last year, which is probably a sin but hopefully it will be re-born this weekend, maybe even tomorrow :)

This is the second bike I have got done at Armourtex. Went for 10 B 15, double gloss this time.

Just dropped my frame in this morning - I was interested in RAL1016 but on their colour chart it's very yellow (I hoped it might be a bit more greeny yellow). Colours do seem quite different so go with an open mind. I've gone 2008 with metalic clear coat - frame fork and bars. I'll post pic's next week

Green (and heavy sparkle) Alien f+f back from Armourtex and looks fantastic.

Many many thanks to Vinyl Villain for the to-ing and fro-ing, much appreciated.

RAL or GTFO.
