    Frame powdercoating advice

    Hello all. I am about to strip my rd07a and was considering powder coating the frame. I need some advice as to where I can get it done. I am in Birmingham. And more importantly, should I stick with silver or go for another colour. My bike is currenty black and orange so I was initially thinking of orange? Please advice.

    I think orange with that colour scheme would look really good.
    Make sure they can match 'exactly' before they do the work. Take a sample along and ask them to demonstrate the finished colour before they do the job. If it doesn't match it'll look wrong.

    Bissell street Bham ( behind the mosque)
    both do an excellent job

    Keep it silver...you won't regret it later. Your black and orange is one of the best ever schemes...IMO.

    I agree, Orange would be too much on a frame . graphite or silver would be cool
