Places to get powdercoating done?

Can anybody recommend or suggest anywhere in Manchester/Bolton area to get a frame powdercoated?

Frame is currently raw polished but has been neglected a bit through winter and could do with a fresh lick of paint for summer as I'm bored with the raw.

Cheers!! :)

Chicago Coatings in Mossley did my frame and fork for £20

Try Armortex in Hackney... They're amazing and cheap. A frame is between 65 and 85 depending on colour and finishes

Monday to friday only.

Didn't know there was a Hackney in Manchester.

go to manchester forum, click 'search this forum', type 'powder coating', click 'go'.

I'm gonna be trying Chicago in a few weeks for a fork, maybe a frame as well

I used to use North Manchester Powdercoatings nearsih the velodrome, they've moved to Royton now, did an excellent job and know about blocking off threads etc.

Despite this being in the wrong place its also wrong. How are they cheao when they're 3-4 times more expensive than the previous post (which included forks). Granted the other place may not block threads etc.. but its worth having your frame retapped anyway if its being repainted (no matter how careful the painter is)

cheers guys after asking around and on here Chicago seems to be the best bet! Gonna give them a call and get it in! Just need to decide what colour to go for!?!

I guess you've got to take your bike apart completely...?

yes.

yes.

Looks like I'm going to have to start scrounging the use of some tools :(

ended up getting it done by a chap in Rawtenstall through a contact of my dad's. Done a real nice job I'm happy with it! Just want a carbon aero post now.

for those of you not in Manchester, there are a few places in Crewe which do a really good job (they are car respraying places). John J Wilkinson I think is the best place to go

Are North Manchester Powdercoatings still going? Their numbers not working anymore and can't find them listed under royton

why not just read the thread and the answer is there.

Yup, reread it and still nothing. The link don't work and can't find a NMP in royton. So if anyone knows new number or what they may have changed name to just let me know. Unless, of course, you feel like adding some more wise cracks

Ah, retract my own wisecrack. Now I've followed rincies instructions, makes sense

well it wasnt as obvious as it could have been, but I figured, moved to royton, lets google royton powder coating. give a man a fish......

Plus there are 2 powder coating threads in the manchester section, each with the same info repeated several times.

I'll sum it all up and hopefully (though unlikley) finish it off and help.

Royton powder coaters (previously North manchester coaters)

Chicago coatings, Ashton under lyne - £20 a frameset blasting included, used by lots of people.

They haz sparkles?

For an extra £20, they can scratch the lacquer up a bit so it catches the light in a similar way to sparkles.
