So, how easy is it to convert a chrome frame to a powder coated frame ?

Would the powder coatig company be able to take a chrome frame and do the buisnesss ?

My powdercoater does all preparation of the frame before powder.  Whether it is chrome or paint, it makes no difference to him, he media blasts it to give the frame a key.

powder coaters usually blast the frame regardless bafore hand unless it is completly bare metal, chromed or painted its all part of the job

That looks perfect

How much does it roughly cost to get the frame and forks done from chrome ?
