Powder coating - Aurum / Vaz / Armourtex / Respray gallery

Wow that was some serious vomit inducing shit you just posted. Well done.

Dude, Your resprays? They're horrible!

Aside from the metallic blue frame: What were you thinking?

Hey guys. If that is his work, then he deserves some credit.
As far as I can tell, they're quite well performed, give him a break.

The green and white one has some serious work involved. Like it a lot more than the LV build or any of the others just posted.
Hopefully someone on here with taste will commission something from him and I'm sure it'll turn out just great.

Hi everyone,

I know this is the wrong place for this question, as this is the gallery, but this is my first post so I can't start a new thread. Basically I want to get some deep V rims powder coated and wanted to if people have experience of this, do they warp due to the heat? does the powder fill holes / become an issue? I see armourtex do powder rims but any personal knowledge of how it works would be great. Many thanks.

I imagine they would melt or something, but can you powder coat carbon? I.e. forks.

Powdercoating rims is fine.
Read this thread... all the info is in here.

just taken the gangsta to get painted, finally. been putting it off for nearly a year.

settled on 'incandescent black fire'

pictures in a couple days......

I've searched all through the gallery and there's been very few gradient sprays and they seem to be more diy or people who have the skills doing them.

I've currently got a cherry red glitter finish frame and am looking to change things up. I have my mind set on a two-tone idea but my searches don't come back with much success. I get the impression that Armourtex and the like only do single colours. Is there anywhere that specialises in more custom jobs?

bettablast in newcastle, 14 hour turnaround, gave me £20 off because theres a tiny smudge on the bb shell! result.

Moar pics of that please ^

How much that set you back?

Will be picking up my alu frame next week - black with glitter lacquer.

damn.. im picking up my romet this week, but I'm afraid it will turn out too dark..
light blue with purple flakes lacquer, don't know if the blue I chose was light enough..
[inbefore call them and change, - i know its painted already].

Pompino Frame in Due to collect next week.....
RAL 6005 Moss Green with Metallic Lacquer....it's gonna be an impatient wait.

How much that set you back?

45.00, very happy with it!

asked about clearcoating over the top, the guy said it wouldnt need it, turns out he was dead right! paintjob has no scratches whatsoever after locking it up twice a day since its been painted.

£45!? Is it 2 pack? Was expecting you to say more like £100... you have the stem done as well?

standard paint job....no idea what shade of red, just wanted something to contrast the chrome.
it went from black hammerite to this - cost me £50 but i'm pleased with it

Nice change; didn't know that red bikes could actually sit still.

Has anyone ever gone to northlondoncoatings in edmonton?

Who wants to team-up for powder coating their stuff in black?

glossy or matt?

just try to clarify for readers as i don't have anything at the moment.

another tip for doing this cheaply would be to try convince armourtex to put your stuff through with someone else's and offer to try and share the set up/minimum job fee.

it worked for me 1 out of two.
