I haven't used Paul yet... but there is no doubting the quality of his work and from what I have seen and heard his prices are VERY good.

Ooww they look nice. What's the story Paul, i mean can i send you a manky rim and you strip it, polish it and finish it? Do all the work for me?

what will you charge me?

What's it going to cost me if i send it to you already polished?

That kind of thing.

Give us an idea, i don't think you need to be presice here but what people are going to want is a 'round about' price guide to know if it's affordable.

You already have a recommendation from Beard.  :daumenhoch:

You already have a recommendation from Beard.  :daumenhoch:

hello to you bob_acid the answer to you question about the manky wheels is yes.  you can send in the rims as manky as you like, we will strip the anodising off,  take them to bare metal,  polish them till you can see your face in them and then recoat them so there look like new and you can get this done for £30 but all postage cost are up to you.  our carrier charges £10-15.  if you send the rims in already polished its £15 to recoat them in any colour but its £20 for black because its a longer process.  if you do the stripping and polishing yourself just make sure that all the anodising film is off cos when it comes to recoating them and there is still film there it will not take any colour and it will look a mess. a price list of what we can do will be put on here later to night.
cheers paul ;)


thanks beard for the recommendation :daumenhoch:

Just collected two stems from Paul this afternoon, what can I say? Top work (I dropped 3 bags of other stuff to be done so it must be good  :coolsmiley: )
strip all your alloy parts of your bikes and send it to these guys NOW  :daumenhoch:

 :) DINGO :)

Paul is in the process of doing my third set of Aero's.

He's also polishing up my rear MX1000 as well.

Post by: Frosty on May 05, 2007, 08:52 PM
Dingo,

Any of the bits done hubs??

Just wondering what, if anything, happens with the inside steel bearing races??

Paul
Title: Re: anodising services!!!!!
Post by: Dingobmxer on May 05, 2007, 10:53 PM
Paul,
I had two stems done, if you have hubs done you need to take out any steel as the anodising doesnt like it apparently
ring Paul and speak to him, really nice guy and VERY clued up  :daumenhoch:
 :) DINGO :)
Title: Re: anodising services!!!!!
Post by: CD17 on May 05, 2007, 10:59 PM
Iv sent a Stem to be polished, Hub to be Anodised & Seatclamp to be stripped & Polished, as soon as they are back I will post some pics on here, but I just know they are going to be good  :)
Title: Re: anodising services!!!!!
Post by: Dingobmxer on May 05, 2007, 11:05 PM
one of the stems was a knackered 90's Webco clamp on stem, it now resides on a future show bike  :coolsmiley: nuff said  :daumenhoch:
 :) DINGO :)
Title: Re: anodising services!!!!!
Post by: Frosty on May 05, 2007, 11:07 PM
Thanks chaps.

I did e.mail Paul a week or so ago and asked what he does for the steel races in hubs and he wasn't sure but did mention they have various bungs that can be used, I was just wondering if anyone had had some done yet.

I have been stripping wheels down and getting other bits an pieces together to send a batch of stuff through - just got to decide on colours.
