Where can I get my frame sprayed properly? HAPPY NOW

(1/6) > >>

crillmeister:
Bit of advice needed.  I've got a Kuwi frame that was originally green then sprayed black and I wanted it get it resprayed so it looked the part.  I took it to this place near me and the guy sounded pretty confident that he could strip it back to the metal and powdercoat it black so it would look the dogs.

Picked it up before and am really disappointed with it.  The finsh is a bit tacky, its not wet but when I caught the frame with my finger nail it kinda of stuck into the paint slightly.  I thought when things are powder coated the heat makes the paint adhere to the metal much better then wet spraying - which is why bikes are powder coated?  Anyway I was going to leave it and build it with the parts I've got but It was bugging me too much. So I tried to remove a tiny bit of the paint on the underside of the frame where the serial number is (which wasn't visible anymore as the thickness of the paint here was considerably more than everywhere else on the frame) with my fingernail.  The paint just peeled away with relative ease all around this area and others places.  I'm far from an expert on these things but i would have thought that if it had been powder coated then this wouldn't be possible?

Needless to say I'm pi$$ed off as it's just not right and I can't leave like this, so does anyone one know where I can get this done professionally / properly in the North West Stockport / Manchester way preferably.  Or I am just being far too picky and expecting too much?

Sorry about the rant.
