Local frame finishers...

Can anyone recommend a local(ish) shot blaster and painter/ powder coater?

Morley Brothers in Milton.

they do it all.

sorry to crash the thread,

you recon they do rechroming??

Dov (he's on here) does frame painting. Top notch finishes on his frames you won't be disappointed, only £30 too. I'm pretty sure that just this week he's started to do rechroming too.

oh sweet, wheres he based?

Acton

peopl have got to stop posting in the Cambridge subforum who have nothing to do with Cambridge. We are talking local (as in local to Cambridge) places to have your frame sprayed.

Morley Brothers are the best/probably cheapest place to have it done within Cambridge.
They charge 60 quid for the whole sandblast/paint/clearcoat shebang. That's only one colour though, if you want more colours or sparkles etc the price comes up a bit.

good luck with it dude. Make sure you think long and hard wether its worth respraying the frame, money wise.

acton. not cambridge. i gotta keep looking then, might have to whip out the cambridge yellow pages.

Oops, sorry about that I didn't realise it was in the Cambridge forum.

Thanks eddie, you've given me something to think about before I commit to spending my money. I'm beginning to wonder if I'd be better off putting up with the current paint and looking for a better frame...

The only problem with morleys is the time, they took over a month to do mine, and the didn't laquer it.

I've heard Teversham Engineering are good for powder coating...

Yeah they took ages on mine and then they did it totally the wrong colour . They are very erratic in the quality depending who does it , the moronic apprentice or the boss. To be honest they don't deserve being recommended here. There is no one else .... maybe Densley Charles on Ditton walk could be asked to do it .He usually does cars, took ages to do my mercedes wings though

i can get frames done if you strip it back to metal normaly around 40 a frame

Morley can just sandblast for 15ish quid
2weeks or so it takes.

There's always Armourtex down in Hackney, not necessarily local but only a train ride away. Cheap too.

ColourTech in Dartford as used by Roberts.....i have heard good stuff about them......proper bike enamellers...£100 for enamel..more for metallic....inc final lacquer coat etc.

Pricey but nicey ?

Bob Jackson do a marvelous job at spraying frames up.
from £75

Seen some absolutely tasty finishes come back from then. They can also paint the lines around the lugs. Morley Brothers don't come even close to what these guys can do.

They are in Leed in Yorkshire!...I had a Bob Jackson.....the enamel scratched very easily...but Ben Hayward are agents for BJ.....so it's cheaper to send it......Mercian are better...so are Argos...Colur Tech is near
....if the are good enough for Chas Roberts...they must be good!...I would also recommend Armourtex..excellent service...£60...they also do wet paint.

actually, yeah, the closest bet is Armourtex, only an hour train away in London
they do a good job
