No one knows a good powder coater for this bike?

Don't spend loads - they're not a massive cost brand new

When you factor in the cost of powder coating & fuel for 4 journeys to the the powder coaters (2 to drop it off & 2 to collect it)

Sometimes buying new parts are more cost effective

Now bought a 2nd hand one from Sherlocks - I'll clean and paint that up and get it on behind a crud catcher... thanks for the help

By enamel - do you mean Smoothrite?

My mistake, they used to be about £150, now I see they've gone up to £230

Luckily I got a brand new one from Motobins when they sold a load off................for £30

In black

If you did still want it coating there is "Cheshire Powder coating ltd" in Ellesmere Port who are quite good. (0151 355 0858)

I've had a few things done there and they take the time to plug any holes that are threaded which a lot of coaters don't do.

Brilliant - thanks
