Frame finishers and painting in SE

Royalratch · #1 PostAuthor: **Royalratch** » Tue Sep 11, 2012 10:15 am

The time has come!

I've found a few places to strip, powder-coat my frame and swingarm but they are just rough Google results.

Any recommends or tips?

I'm mainly interested in whether there should be a first coat of zinc primer for extra rust protection and also if it's worth any 'internal coatings' as well - or just run some oil around inside.

Much appreciated.

R D Cox & son in Reading have always had good reviews, for powdercoat & paint.

For blasting and powder coating try Microblast in Windsor.
Ask for Alan,the boss, who is a top bloke, good prices and quick.
If you drop parts on a Monday and were to tell him you need them by Wednesday (not too much pressure there) he'll get them done.

Highly recommended.

Collusion together.

Thats correct.
I always deal with Alan, who runs Microblast.
Both companies are at the same location.
