Title: Ive just learnt a lesson.
Post by: munners on September 12, 2008, 07:24 PM
I got an 1984 Gt Performer blasted today. The guy said he would powder the bars and frame and forks in white for an extra £20.

I thought fook it. Went back an hour later..................it was the worst job i have ever seen!

Dont know weither to send it back tomorrow and ask him to do it again or just send it straight to the master Dan and swallow the cost.

I dare not post pics. Its embarrassing! :LolLolLolLol:

Nick i dunno how expensive or how long it takes Dan to knock em out, but i can recommend FHM Reader Mark. Had 3 bikes done of him now, a week turnaround and 60-70 to strip prep and paint with postage. Just a heads up  :daumenhoch:

I have NEVER used anyone other than Dan. I have seen him perform before my eyes. Basically he is the DON and he puts so much effort into them to get us the results.

I will take pics then. :LolLolLolLol:

He obviously didnt powder the redline stem.
The pics dont really show. The powder is veiny a over and looks like it has dust particals in it. It is nice and flat all over but he has hardly done the drops!
Has pin point holes in all over in areas too.

Lads....i think you are missing one thing.

Dan is the man and always has been. It was always gonna go to him. All the bikes i have needed powdered have.

When he said £20 and done in an hour i thought fook it!

It wasnt really the money but the time it takes to post and all that crap. Dan has always been rapid on the turnaround time. Its always been done in 3 days.

Dan has agreed to sort it so once again.....................love you dan. :smitten: :smitten: :4_17_5:

Anyway its only more good press for Dan as i will post pics of his results. :daumenhoch:

When i first got to restoring my firebird i just got a local compant to do it. Was a bit better than that but not much. Cost me 35 quid as well. I then got into rad and found SBD. Now i won't go anywhere else. At the end of the day you get what you pay for and i know Dan aint cheap but fook me its worth every penny. Depends what you want from a finish though i guess but my thoughts are if i am going to do it i might as well get it done properly as the frame is the most important part of the build it is false economy to skimp out on it.

SBD  :4_17_5: The best powder coater in my opinion!

Post by: jT Racing on September 13, 2008, 02:18 PM
Dan, how the fook did he manage to get that finnish? when i worked in holland, we had a powder coat plant there too. i worked in it a couple of times and most people filled in when needed. some stuff was done mechanically but a lot was done by hand with that gun thing. pipe in a box of akzo nobel powder and spraying stuff as it came past like the end of the generation game. never seen anything turn out that bad. what happened?

Nick kin ell that's poor  :shocked: but £20 worth a punt but after i've got my latest frames done from SBD, i'd never go anywhere else, they are beautiful... that reminds me, must get the ta, fst and vector pics up soon!  >:D ;)

j.t, the reason why his painting came out so bad and i can see from those pics, one coat finish and far too light

and cheap powder and he's crap and he's got no pride and he cant paint a bmx ;D apart from that he's alright :daumenhoch:
