Powder coating wheels

[BillyJ]

I want to get a pair of wheels powder coated.

triple s are highly recommended and reviews are great... but including shipping it would be £150 for the pair...

Anyone know anywhere else that would be able to do it and know enough about bikes to mask off the right things.

I'm based in South London and obviously down the road from me would be nice but not essential.

My local bike shop recommended paint rather than powder-coat. They say as more new bikes come with powder-coated wheels they're seeing an increase in chipping of the rims during tyre changes. Powder-coat is harder than paint and therefore resistant to scratching but with hardness comes brittleness.

I had my wheels and swingarm shot-blasted and etch-primed by a local firm with experience of bikes. I then smoothed down the finish myself, bought paint from RS Bike Paints and had a local classic car restorers spray and lacquer them. They came out lovely. Don't dismiss a paint job.

B&P in Sittingbourne quoted me about £50 a wheel, its a bit out of the way but postage would be about 20 quid if Adept have a long waiting list

I'm getting mine done shortly

I worked in a powdecoaters, anyone half decent will know what too mask we always had a lot of frames/wheels/swingarms in from race bikes to classic restorations. You also want to give them the wheels with the bearings removed and order new ones if you never knew

I got my gsxr wheels done by a dirty looking bloke in a shed at the back of a farm for £30 each in 2015. obviously without bearings and tyre fitting though.

no chips after 4/5k.

I need to get the triumphs done but might just spray them myself for cheaps.

My wheels were plastic coated by CPC down in Borough Green near Wrotham (near Brands Hatch).Curt did a really good job and worked out at about £30 per wheel and he did all of the masking of relevant places

He also did my FJ frame,the bottom yoke,footrest hangers,pannier brackets and several other parts for £180,so the estimate of £30 per wheel is that,an estimate.

CPC are on farcebook

Dropped them off at adept today to get blasted with glass and painted in their satin black.

The guy who runs it, I think his name is Francis, seemed really nice and knowledgeable. He said my wheels should be done by the end of next week.

Will update when I get them back.
