i'll second that

dans a top bloke and prices & work are equally good

best thing i found was other than the quality of the work the frame came back cleaned properly
when ive had other work done ive spent ages having to take bits of paint from brake mounts ect
spose thats what you get when a bmxer does the job for you

Nice one people

You can also get joy from a local powdercoater.. think you really have to explain what you want,
then hand the parts over & fingers crossed

from all accounts, dan does a good job, but so does every local powder coater i've used so far in 2 countries. Depend's on your budget.

Very true John

You can usually find a local powder job for £20 ish

that's what a guy in Darwen charges

Thanks

You could try your luck with a local powder coater, or you could give it to Dan & know you will be 100% happy with his work, I would not use anyone else.

& PM SBD & ask him for a price

jT Racing · « **Reply #16 on:** January 25, 2009, 07:04 PM »

40 quid. but if your not local you will have to pay for postage too.

John he doesn't live in Germany

Dan is the one i use. Absolute perfectionist.

And a wickedly top geezer.

RIDEEE · « **Reply #19 on:** January 25, 2009, 07:15 PM »

Sounds good, his work looks brilliant, and good price too

Where is his workshop, so that i'll know if im local or not

LOL

CD17 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 25, 2009, 07:21 PM »

Essex, not that far from Rom

munners · « **Reply #21 on:** January 25, 2009, 07:48 PM »

I would also like to say that Dan also goes that extra mile to get it JUST right. I cant stress this enough.

I sent a white GT Performer to my local powdercoaters. TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. Couldnt believe it.

Sent it to Dan and it came back as a new frame. I could have sold it as NOS.

JOKE.

I have also had the pleasure of sitting in his factory for 3 hours why he did 3 frames of mine. Was great to see the master at work.

I had a very good look round before I decided that Dan was the man to go for.

If you go with any local fella that powders crap for a living he won't give a hoot that it's your pride and joy he's messin' with.

"Go for dan the man, He gives a sh*t"

Come to think of it, people pay large PR company's millions to come up with lines like that! (maybe you could do me a frame for free Dan?) (if you want to use my quote)

A 'regular' powder coater doesnt have the love of bmx like Dan does. That definitely counts towards getting a great finish.

So far ive had my Rebel frame and forks, a pair of Landing Gears and a dia compe hinged clamped powdered by Dan, and all are lovely.

Next up will be my TA...
