Powder coating - Aurum / Vaz / Armourtex / Respray gallery

it's 5015. apparently the image isn't linking anymore? here i come photobucket.

Four frames done a week ago:

Front to back:
RAL 2004 with metallic lacquer (actually wish I'd gone for clear lacquer as the metallic can be 'milky' from some angles and dulls the orange, but should look great in bright sun)
RAL 60?? - a friend's Steamroller and I don't remember
RAL 6020 no lacquer
RAL 5025 with lacquer - not on their colour chart, but a freaking ace colour

More pics to follow when I've taken them and finished the re-building of the bikes.

@adamm RAL60?? that's a clear lacquer?
i'm after something pretty similar, almost BRG, high gloss....

RAL 2004 is Molteni Orange.

What frame is it?

Damo, yes, it has a clear lacquer. If you ask what they use for BRG, you'll get that one^.

The frames from front to back are a Dialled Bikes Love/Hate, a friend's Steamroller, my Steamroller and a Singular Cycles Peregrine.

I have just delivered my Raleigh 501 winter beater frame to Armourtex for a respray. Looking forward to getting it back.

^ No RAL, no talk.

No RAL Lenni, you'll have to wait!!!

Its funny I've been tracking this thread for a while and I think I have picked a RAL no one here has...well maybe apart from Budhha Fingaz.... ;)

Gorgeous Baby Blue Bike

Some pics of my newly finished frame, picked up very early this morning from Armourtex.

I wanted something close to Raleigh's "Fern Green" paint job which featured on their 80's and possibly early 90's bikes.

I think I got pretty close. It's RAL 6021 with metallic type effect. I have some Raleigh decals to go on this, they won't be the correct ones to go on the frame (they're the Milk Race model), but hopefully they'll look the part.

Just dropped off my holdsworth at Armourtex. Must have just missed you Zed. It is a pretty beat up frame, originally red with a horrible red overspray.

I told them I wanted a greenish/biege metallic looking colour. Something classic/antique looking but definitely not the original red. I think I ended up on RAL 1035 with metallic laquer.

Does anyone know if the metallic laquer is going to end up looking sparkly when its finished? The guy I spoke with seemed pretty confident I'd get the look I was after, but if metallic laquer = sparkes then I'm not so sure. I was under the impression that the flake finishes were the really glittery ones.

I've searched through the photos, and haven't seen any metallic laquer specific ones (or I've missed them). Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Serk - check out Lenni's frame on the first page. That has metallic type finish. So does mine but photo quality is shite. And also DMCzone's Stratton.

RAL 1035 with metallic finsh should look pretty sick to the power of rad.

What time were you there? I picked up my frame at 7:15am...

I saw this at BLB this morning. Gorgeous Baby Blue!

I got there about 10am, so I missed you by a few hours. I should have been there at 7.15 to make it to work on time but it was a wake-up fail this morning.

Thanks! Those look great and that finish should be perfect. I'm not sure what I thought "metallic" was other than bits of metal in the finish?!

They said it would be ready next Tuesday so I'll get some pics up once I get it back.

do they do lug lining does anyone know?

What is the RAL for GBB?

Zed that looks excellenté, with this paint finish you are really spoiling us! You will surely be renowned for your exquisite taste.
