Over many years I've had several frames (inc.Laverda) powder coated by these people and always been pleased with the result........................http://powder-coatings.ltd.uk...............they're on Tyburn Road Birmingham just off the M6.
                                Regards to all.........Dave.
 
I have allways used these ppl myself as well, never had any problems and used to be very reasonable prices. it is not far from spaghetti junction

They have a room with the walls covered in coated discs to select your colour from. my frame was red 22
 
Scottish members:
P&J Powder coatings on the South side of Glasgow: they are ok on steel, but useless on alloy components such as wheels, for example, we got all 5 wheels on the XJ6 done & lacqured & fitted with new tyres, the spare has never been out of the boot & the car is garaged, yet the coating has lifted badly & will have to be re-done & its a 600 mile round trip from Caithness..... :(
 
P&J? I spoke to them at a bike show once and made very careful note of the name so I would never use them. Mind you, it could just be that they're okay but let the bloke with the attitude problem talk to potential customers...

The powder coater over in Glenrothes seems to have a reasonable reputation - the owners father is a wheelbuilder so they're familiar with interesting bikes. Unless someone comes up with any better recommendations we'll be taking sundry bits of Bonnie there
 
Boaby -
They used to wrap frames in palletwrap, I got a family member who lives nearby to collect the Alpino frame in 93', when I got it home I found it was in fact the frame for a GS550!

They keep no records of what comes from whom & are totally shambolic....

About 3 months later the guy who picked up our frame decided to unwrap it & to his horror found he had my frame, he only lived round the corner in Thornliebank.
They returned my frame by carrier, I had kept the Suzuki frame as collateral & had Clem hunting around the home counties looking for a replacement, in fact he was on his way to Alan Bell to buy one the day I got the call from Glasgae' to say mine had shown up....

Needless to say I have not used them since but have heard of a firm on the North side of town that does good coating, they are in the Bearsden/Milngavie area apparantly.

For powdercoating in Scotland I was recommended to ESP in Glasgow.
Guy I know with expensive bikes and who is very fussy confirmed he used them for over 10 years.
I put a frame and swingarm to them and was delighted with the result and cheaper than others doing an inferior job IMO.
I wouldn't go past them in the future.

 
Monty - yes i think thats them, where are they in Glasgae'?
I get down there reasonably often & would rather drop off & collect than use TNT etc....

I prefer epoxy paint on frames. Seems a bit tougher than powder coat and easier to touch up if damaged - or if you need to weld a lug on the frame that you forgot to do before getting it coated.  :-[

Cheers,

Monty - yes thats the firm, I recognise the business card, I saw some Alfetta GTV  wheels a few years ago that they had done & it was a good job.

the Manx frame, SA & bracketry were sprayed with 2 pack in the mid 80's & is still standing up well but it does live a fairly cossetted life....
