Powder coating?

Besides... there are a few chips on it and I'll be getting the decals remade exactly the same but in a different colour ;)

You better!

I am I shwares!!

Have you seen the saddle it's getting?

Nah, do show, I need a saddle myself, bent the rails right out of the saddle base.

OOOH....Nice.

I know right!! And super rare, Max in TFG is hunting one down for me ;)

ok so i need a frame and forks striped and powder coated anyone heard anymore about it?

Tallaght powder coating do a great job (I've heard from both my LBS and a downhill cyclist whose friends got some work done there). As far as I know it's €120 for one colour and €150 for two

Two colour sounds good - especially if they can mask off chrome.

To go slightly off topic, I've become fascinated with Fast Boy Cycles' paint job on his first bike:

Does anyone know how this was accomplished? (He's not saying).

• Whoops. Link above.
  

it looks as tho the frame was painted black then very lightly sanded this caused the edges to shine up like that giving it that worn effect. then a layer of clear coat for protection.

Looks like an ink or a stain to me, almost like runny annodising.
If you found something similar to gun blueing dye or ink but more permanent that would get an effect like that.

It's done the same way you do gun barrels...

Ah the country man steps in..
I didnt think that that process was very permanent...But then again I have never re-done it to any of mine and they are holding up fine, granted they dont get much time in the rain.

I like it. Although, there is a tinge of Games Workshop modelling about it, I've just noticed.

(Anyone? Anyone? I'll get my coat).

Yeah I do know what you mean.

But this is life sized and real, therefore removing any ties:D

Not really much help but zed1powdercoating[U][/U] in Armagh do a frame and fork for £50.

wow, great price

Its still cheaper to get the bus up and get it done than here.

I've a Bob Jackson I was gonna get done as I've went off the colours I choose. I've had a good look at they're website and they seem to look like the real deal. I'm in Belfast so I'm pretty handy.

I'm getting my stuff powder coated and in an effort to promote dublinfgss I have it posted there

Ok the deal is that we had a customer in the shop today that is looking to have her bike painted/powdercoated black, so is anyone else looking to have the same done and you could do them both together for cheap;)

EDIT: need replys by this time tomorrow to tell her yay or nay.

I don't need said powdercoating... But if she a sexy I'll take her number anyways

Nope, Mark is first in line and im second, she is by the way.
