I really don't know what to do, how much is powder coating?? I think someone said there is a place local that does it at exeter i think

Trust us.
It will cost about the same or slightly less than a couple of cans of paint.
Does it even need painting?

Self prep may save you a bit. Make sure you remove every trace of Nitromors. Most powder coaters will media blast it as well. This removes paint and any traces of rust.

right guys i am going to strip the frame hopefully on the weekend and might well now get it powder coated. I am getting a xt rear and front mech. I am getting confused what bits are good to get for my build. Been looking in for sale section and see stuff but haven't a clue if any good for me. So far i have the frame some suspension forks, aheadset, stem, and front and rear xt mech. What am i best looking for now, i know i am a right newbie

Hi there

Are you going the powder coat route?
If you are, take it to first choice finishes in pinhoe Exeter. They did my kona frame and did a quality job. Turn around is about a week. Hope this helps.

Cheers kirbdug
