Hi,
Can anyone recommend a powder coater in the United Kingdom. I will need to entrust them with beloved objects such as a Quadangle and '83 Pro Performer. Any idea of costs would also be helpful.
Thanks,
Sandro

It really depends where you are in the country?
In my opinion: (just my opinion) I would find a powder coater close to where you live a spark up some conversation with them.
You could pay as much in postage as the jobs worth: I pay somewhere about £20 - £40 for powder and about the same for stove enameling, for a frame and fork. incl. stripping and preparation.
I pay cash in hand and now have a pretty good repertoire going, which counts for alot!
I would surgest one for you, but its always different with each frame sometimes the old paint comes straight off and he has no hassel, sometimes it takes ages so I always give him extra for the job.
hope this helps a little
