Yep, a complete result as they are actually an alloy wheel refurb specialist. Sid1972 found them just round the corner from where he lives and the bloke who runs it was amazed when we brought him half a dozen framesets at a time to do :daumenhoch:
Not been for a while now but he was aquablasting a set of Tuffs for £25 - a good few of the lads on here have had them done and I even helped out a few by taking them up there. He also did a set of Z's and they came out equally brilliant.

They are based in Barnsley, so not handy for Birmingham unfortunately, but an example of what Aha is looking for I'd say :coolsmiley:

TBH I had absolutely no idea how much powder coating cost until I watched a few eps of Wheeler Dealers. They had some parts PCed and paid about £60. I figured that was a reasonable amount for a frame tbh.
I paid £100 for F&F and bars. My other option was this guy who wanted £150 plus I had to supply the powder :nickswan:
Even I knew that was a rip off.

Thanks everyone, I'm looking into all options. "wantit"
Haven't heard of aquablasting, guess it's like a Karcher pressure washer, maybe that would work on my white (aged a bit yellow) Aero Zytecs? I'll try bleach and scrubbing first.

Shame we can't put several pics and longer description on our profile pages for easy reference. ???

Don't use bleach.
