Recommendations for powdercoaters and anodizers in Rotherham

[azrael]

Hi
I am in the process of renovating an old DB Apex.
I am having the frame modded with some CR mounts and have had a price from VB cycles (Dronfield) for a stove enamel paint job.
But I have heard powdercoating is more resilient.
After mailing the local powdercoaters I either get no response or they do not specialise in MTB work (industrial).

So does anyone know of decent firm in the SY area?
Also have a few bits I need anodizing blue so same again for that?

Thanks in advance.

Just send him the frame and does the rest and sends it back

Do the parts need stripping before hand or just anodizing?

They are polished aluminium so just the usual pre-treatment gubbins.

all same grade?

 

[azrael]

yes

Think I know of a guy in Barnsley who ANO's.. I'm after a few bits going soon along with a repair, I'll check if he does definitely tomorrow.

Any news?
Also what about powdercoaters in SY?
Surely someone has some experience?
Got 2 frames now waiting for a bit of loving
