SBD is without a doubt your man if you're building a show-winner or pride and joy. His finish and attention is off the scale.However, if you want a local bloke to cover up the battered frame you've ridden for years and plan to continue doing so, then I'm on the same page. My local powder-coater charges me £30 for a frame and £15 for forks. He masks the machined surfaces and knows what he's doing as he's got a load of o/s bikes himself. He also does the aquablasting for Tuffs. He even experimented on my Knightgoose frame as he had some candy blue left and wanted to try it over white rather than the base silver (I think) - the results are great I think and it still only cost me £45 Obviously as I ride it then it's scratched to fook already and I don't care as it looks amazing. The new decals can actually cost more than the paint in the end
Great price
Send it to SBD, job done

Sid1972 found them just round the corner from where he lives and the bloke who runs it was amazed when we brought him half a dozen framesets at a time to do Not been for a while now but he was aquablasting a set of Tuffs for £25 - a good few of the lads on here have had them done and I even helped out a few by taking them up there. He also did a set of Z's and they came out equally brilliant.http://www.metalmagicwheelrefurb.co.uk/ They are based in Barnsley, so not handy for Birmingham unfortunately, but an example of what Aha is looking for I'd say
Thanks everyone, I'm looking into all options. Haven't heard of aquablasting, guess it's like a Karcher pressure washer, maybe that would work on my white (aged a bit yellow) Aero Zytecs? I'll try bleach and scrubbing first.Shame we can't put several pics and longer description on our profile pages for easy reference.
