Just wanted to say hi to everyone . im a powder coater based in corby northamptonshire . Its the typical story i have spent years powder coating everyone elses rebuilds but never actually owned one . so this year im hopefully going to start my own classic project . I will no doubt be looking for advice on what is a good beginners project . But in return im more than happy to answer any powder coating questions i can . If anyone is looking for some bits and bobs powder coated feel free to give me a shout too by either replying to this message , or sending me a private message

Hi thanks for the reply
At the moment i haven't really got anything in mind . I think to start with it would need to be something pretty basic . I have 15+ years experience in powder coating them but 0 experience in rebuilding them . Having done a few vincents i like the look of them but they are miles out of my current price range . Its looking like im going to have to put buying a project on hold for a little while longer as i have just got the job of doing a ural ( i think thats how you spell it )

regards Martin

Hi to powder coat a t140 frame you would be looking in the region of £65 . if the frame needs blasted you would be looking at adding around £25 for the blasting . I dont do the blasting i usually send it out to a local blasters who are very good . I always say about a week turn around on frames although it is usually quicker .
Cheers mart
