Powder coaters ... Yorkshire ?

[porkypaw]

Has anyone used or can recommend a powder coater in the Yorkshire area.
I would prefer to drop off and collect rather than post frame.
Seen some lovely finishes on Retrobike but most coaters mentioned are miles away. (don't want paint cos I can do that mi self)

Not too bad, about 100 miles round trip but if they're good, it could be worth a couple of trips.

Is that scunthorpe powder coaters marcus? What do they charge for a frame? I've seen their work on car alloys and it looks good

The fire mountain is lovely. finish looks excellent. I remember commenting on it when you first posted it.
I was chatting about bikes and stuff at a bonfire last night and one guy said he has used Midas touch coaters at Castleford with good results.
Going to give them a ring next week for a price, they are only 5 miles away and not heard of them before. Custom work too, not industrial stuff.

Sounds good. Mine had a few small imperfections under the paint eg chainsuck marks which i should have sorted before getting it done. I think a coater more used to custom work would prep the area or at least called to discuss it.
