While answering this Dan, if I wanted to do a frame thats been powdered, does the old powder have to come off?  :daumenhoch:

That's cool, cos Dan will be getting the work to do.

Dan, what's the charge for stripping?

Is it a pound in jar or £10 for a private?

blimey  i feel like a school teacher,  ok to answer one question a time.

first jim,   chemical strip or sand blast,  both around 10 pounds on mates rates ;)

ratty,  yes you can powder over powder.  the only way to get a good finish is to

coat the frame hot,  i done brownies race inc last friday and wasn't happy with

the first coat because the rear end was pitted so recoated it,  therefore

powder on powder :)  also romblokes,  oldsky, my own frame and a few more

members have had two coats  :coolsmiley:

back to jim.  does it need stripping
For powder coating drop me a pm

Dan, got a project I am thinking of taking on and just doing some research first.

It will need stripping of dodgy black powdercoat, before re-powdercoating.

Also, on a different project, the grey for my Diamond Back will be like a shiney primer grey (hint of blue), do you have anything like that? This is a deffo re-powder. When it finally turns up anyway.
