It's true, Jim dropped all of his pants and socks in to be done earlier this week.
He is currently going commando.

the powdercoating is alot more durable than paint, hence im getting my wheels done as the brake dust is chewing the paint off my wheels now! also for the engine bits its good because its wipe clean, the old rocker cover was polished and the salt chewed thru it and made it look shite!

So is that Anthra Powder coat?
If so I would be interested in having this done to some wheels.
How mucho per wheel?

wont be able to get it done in a weekend to be honest dude, would take a few days for them to coat it...
£30 a wheel if they done need blasting, depends on the condition of them etc....
and yes it is anthractie powder coat

I go to a place in Wycombe, the last few things I have had done had the colour chosen by finding out what colours they were coating with the next day. Meant that I payed a small percentage of what I should. It's a good idea to see if they are doing stuff in a colour you like so you can add your order onto the back of somone elses

You could covince my wallet by popping the change you have left over from selling the Loopio in there.
Then I could have her done by Christmas and have enough left over for a beer and a sandwich

i was told i wasn't able to have the cam cover powder coated because the blasting method they use to prepare the metal leaves small particles in the metal and would get into the oil when it was running...
