    Powder coating?

    Where is everyone getting bead blasting and powder coating done. Does anyone have recommendations?

    i would reccommend thumbing through your yellow pages - there will be lots in london for you to take your stuff to... much cheaper and easier than posting/courier etc..


    powder coating is much of a muchness imho...

    There used to be a couple of places in Norbury near Streatham.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    agree, there must be dozens of places near you. just the other day i followed a van with plasticoat.co.uk written on the back, and noticed it was a local phone number so i had a look online and turns out the place is less than a mile from my house and i'd never heard of it before!

    Thanks guys,

    I replaced my rear disc with my Dad yesterday and the hub is looking fairly worse for wear. I think a winter job may be laying the bike up and stripping the wheels down and getting them coated.

    Is your Dad better at stopping than the old disc?
