~~Great, maybe we could start a minilist? I just called Armourtex, I don't know what you are after (black gloss or black matt). I need gloss, but if there are 4 of us and I'm the only one who does not want matt, I will go for matt, it's not so important for what I'm doing.
I just called them, based on gloss black, and "several" parts, the guys told me it's a minimum of £48 + VAT, and it may go up a bit depending on the quantity of parts in the batch and what they are (cranks are not the same price as a frame, etc). It looks like we would need to go there with the parts to get a firm price and figure out how we split the cost between us. He started telling me typical prices for such parts (like £15 for cranks for instance) which defeats the point of doing a batch... It's just that they have a minimum charge, so it might not be that economical...
I was assuming that the more we were, the cheaper it would be but it might not be exactly like that. Should we start a mini list and see what's what? But I am not prepare to spend more than £25 total, as powder coating my part is total luxury and I can live without it. Sorry...
