Powder coating - Aurum / Vaz / Armourtex / Respray gallery

No mates, let me know how you get on, I might be throwing them up a frame for a winter build.

I only just found out about there and had stripped a frame by hand and rattle canned it. could have got them to do it all for me for about a tenner more ffs.

Hi playford,

Took my frame up to Universal last Wednesday picked it up today. Dealt with an elderly gent, John, I think his name was. He was very helpful and had obviously done a few frames in the past. The choice of colours wasn't great, seemed keen to use what they had in stock which is understandable. I wasn't too fussed on the colour so suited me fine. Oyster white forks (RAL 1013) and Delphinium Blue (BS4800 18 E 51) frame I ended up with and am happy enough. Charged me 40 quid to blast and powder coat 2 colours, not bad at all but you get what you pays for...

The forks aren't great, colours a bit thin, almost as if it needed another coat (can't do that with p/c can you?) and there's a sort of hammerite texture to it up close. Frame is a better job, no hammerite effect. There's a few spots where the paint hasn't taken, the seat pin area is a bit of a bollox and the BB threads have some paint on them.

I'd use them again but I'd maybe go to the hassle of masking up the frame myself after it was blasted.

Pics here, my 'good' camera is outa juice but the pics would probably have still turned out this shit with it sorry:-
