Powder coating - Aurum / Vaz / Armourtex / Respray gallery

ehren that armourtex red is horrible

That's exactly the reason for this thread.

do you know how much they might charge to strip and clear laquer a frame?
I might just do the stripping myself?
there was a clear metal thread a while back but I'm just considering getting an old frame done in nice clear finish.

they do glitter ? ? ?

they do glitter ? ? ?

course, I'm not sure they'll do your big Keirin glitter thought, so far I know they do normal glitter.

my frame was matte black with a double dose of sparkle and a clear coat... so nice.

most of the white bits were done at amourtex not sure of the exact coulor but its flat white

What is that 15 quid laquer really? It's an optional thing it seems, so what does it do? Is it function or aesthetics? Does the metallic or glitter stuff count as lacquer (hence costing 15 squid)?

damnnn wanna get my frame donw now . . .

but too lazy to get the parts off my bike and aint got the tools . . .

nice... can they matt finish any colour?

all the colours are matt i believe, it's the laquer that gives it the gloss finish.

^correct

In the blacks and whites they have different levels of Matt

I asked this question before but can't remember the answer, do you need to take the forks off?

Great thread, thinking of getting the winter beater resprayed. Not sure whether to go Vaz or Armortex. Prob the latter.

do 14 use armourtex? i assume all their frames are RAL classic colours...

yes and yes.
