We use a place in Sneinton for powercoating our racing wheelchair frames.He seems to have quite a few colours and RAL charts to pick from.The place is called Thornix and is on Little Tennis Street :0115 9584624.Sometimes take a while for stuff cos they're always quite busy.

I am trying to get into my local powder coaters to check on his colours for baby blue but it does not look like I am going to get time to go in for a week or 2.
Will let you know when I get time to go in.

Thanks AD :daumenhoch:
:) DINGO :)

I am going to my powder coaters next week to see if they can supply a baby blue colour so will let you know Mark.
If not I have spoken to Chip at C4 Labs and he is quite happy to send me some powder in what he calls 'a very close match' and knowing Chip it is probably exact. So will go that route if necessary, I can order some extra if you and Ad need some and we can share the postage.

For this frame exact isnt a problem but my next frame may need to be exact ;)
Let me know Sean :daumenhoch:
Thanks

i got the trick star from chip and he cant do the right baby blue colour for the hutch which is why im getting it from him unfinnished.i may need to get it painted instead!

I recently had my 90's Quad done at my local powdercoaters - Smiths Coatings in Hove, East Sussex. They are a really cool old school firm tucked away in an old building in an ancient row of car garages etc... they are run by a great bloke called Paul, and he is an absolute bargain - £30 for a powdercoating session, and that is £30 for whatever you have done in one colour - so frame, forks, bars, crank arms etc in the sam ecolour just £30!!!
If you want something in another colour then its another £30 ... and if you want a colour they dont have but can order in, its only about £50 to order a drum, then the £30 to have it podered and theyll store the drum of paint at their premises.
I had my quad done in a baby blue that i picked off their chart - cant remember what its called but will try and find out - and the fifnished result is ace - as close to original SE blue as I needed - check the pic....
cheers!
