Can anyone recommend a good, cheap Powder Coating firm?

Ideally, in London, but not essential.

I want to get a (recently fabricated) luggage rack powder coat & lacquered. Its not very big, so I can post it.

Looking around the forum, I saw these guys recommended:

Any other recommendations (maybe closer to home?)

Cheers. Thanks.

Hey,
I've found when it comes to powdercoating cheap isn't always the best option. I had my frame and swingarm powdercoated at a cheap powdercoaters and they made a very bad job of it. After a week the paint started peeling and chipped with the slightest knock.

I now take all my parts to one of the best, if not the best powdercoaters in the country (In my humble opinion Very Happy

)

There called:
CJ Powdercoatings
Wilton Road
Humberston
Grimsby
DN36 4AS
Humberside

Telephone 01472 211222.

There farily cheap and make an excellent job. Im sure they'll take ur bits if you post them.

PS. This is not a plug, they just offer an excellent service so thought i'd spread the word.

Cheers,
Shaun.

Bizarre as it sounds, I have also been reccomended that firm in Grimsby before too, by someone who I respect quite a lot for accepting only 100% top work.

I don't use them though, I have a good honest chap who does it not 10mins away from me Very Happy

Be aware that "good" and "cheap" are usually mutually exclusive...

If you want a cheap price, you'll get a cheap job.

P&R coatings 01442 873962 Berkhamsted, Herts.

They've done wheels, frames, swing arms, MTB frames, Springs and odds and sods for me and my mates.

Great service.

As for price, got my MTB frame done this summer for £25.

We have a powder coat facility in our factory. A mate has had his Goldwing luggage frame coated here. Trouble is we only do two colours with the best being an extra fine texture RAL9021 (black grey).
