Re-painting in Birmingham

Powdercoating wont effect any steel frame, its the shot blasting which is rough & abrasive by its very purpose.

If you dont shot blast your frame, you will have to sand it by hand to make a nice rough surface for the paint to stick too.

Some people opt for bead blasting as a more gentle option, but its probably unnecessary except for the most ultra-thin premium tubing.

Yeah, I appreciate the powdercoating itself won't be a harmful process, but I guess I'll have to sand it by hand to roughen up the surface. The frame's made of 753r so it is pretty much as thin as steel gets. Also, I'll have to check what temperature the ovens are heated to because 753 is weakened if it is re-heated to a certain temperature.

But yeah, their prices are cheaper than anywhere else I've seen which is good.
