I am picking up a frame forks and rims today, the powdercoater sorted all the preparation work (eg media blasting) and it is in gloss white and it will cost me £50.   He has never charged me any more for different colours.  Frame and forks alone is usually £40.

ive got frame forks and bars arriving 2day from herefordshire.i told then i do quite a few of these so they opened me a trade account.dont know how much yet will let u know when it arrives.thay have enclosed a colour chart aswell.they do gloss,metalflake and dayglow colours.i always get the blasting done first,so i can check for damage get frame numbers,but some powdercoaters like to do that themselves.

I have mine done by a local firm who really only do industrial stuff (light fittings etc), but the gaffer there normally does mine and he's good. He charges me about £40 per f&f set (I say about because if I take odds & ends in as well as a frameset, it's still £40), but I have to get it prep'ed first.

The guy I have media blast my stuff is a different kettle of fish. I never really know, in truth, what I'm going to pay until I pick the stuff up. When I take the stuff it's either 'I'll phone you with a price' or 'about this much'. Then when I pick it up, it can be a completely different price. The last time I went I had 2 framesets and a couple of small bits done for £25.

In total, I reckon on £50 for a frameset, colour no object so long as they're not candy's (these are extra).

sam hudson:
What is media blasting then?? I take it,it doesnt involve throwing Journalists at the frame?? ::)
Seriously...what is it?
