Any good powder coaters in the Bristol area?

[Skyway Nick]

Get in! Found a TA frame and forks in the Trade it yesterday - the guy only wanted £160 for it!

It looks like it was originally a chrome frame but some donut's done an awful 'paint job' on it. - Whats the quickest way of getting all of the paint off by the way? I've seen a thread on here also that says chrome can be sand blasted off - is this true?

So does anyone know of any good powder coaters in the Bristol area plus is there a particular colour white that TA's are?

Any info would be great.

Your best bet is to post it to SuperbikeDan.  You won't get a better job done anywhere else and you'll know it will be taken care off properly.

Cheers for the suggestions guys. One other thing, is painting better than powder coating in your oppinion?

It cost a fair bit,but the finish is spot on!

They did my last MTB frame - think i mentioned it to you, Pearlescent Baby Blue - looked good for about a month - chipped to buggery now...

and the cost including shipping and rebuild to fit the shock bearings etc £250!!!

I know who'll i be using from now on.....

If getting a bike powdered's your plan,
No question - there is only one man.
You'll pay more for it from a spraycan,
So stop fookin about, and send it to SuperBikeDan

As Scott says, I use RPA in Bristol and they are superb, never had a problem with their work.  They do all the prep work also which is included in the price (£45 for frame and forks).  They have about 1 week turnaround also.
