Powder Coating in East Anglia region

[Tufftrax]

This may be of use to anyone in the eastern region considering shotblasting and powdercoating.

I am in the process of restoring a Saracen Tufftrax (1988 model) and have just had my (originally, very rough looking) frame and forks blasted to bare metal and then powdercoated. The end result is excellent and cost me £80.

The firm that completed the work were :-

Fentec Powdercoating & Shotblasting
America Farm
Oxney Road
Peterborough
PE1 5YR

Will post pics when bike finally assembled - still waiting for final parts to arrive!

The price may seem high to some but I'm pleased with the result and also the fact that I was able to deliver and pick up myself (less than 2 miles from home) so saved on postage/courier costs.
