Hi guys,

I was interested in powder coating my CM ATCS 101 black.

Any ideas who might do this sort of work and how much it will cost?

no competitors please.

you implied you did it which is what davemac is getting at.

anyways I guess this thread is going to be difficult to answer without promoting business interests so please feel free to close it

Don't think you can answer without breaking the rules. What I will say is it can be done, and it will look damn nice :)

Make sure you post pics if you do get it done mate.
 
Okies well I thought I answered diplomatically but if people feel I didn't then okay.
I just really couldnt see how else to answer but sorry for the fuss anyway.

Shall email you back in a minute.

Bit scared to post in this thread! :eek: however . . .

I didn't really know what powder-coating was so I just gOOgled it. I must say that this technique is becoming a bit common now, almost cliche if you will, everyone and his dog is getting stuff powder coated.

The thought of spending £200 ish on converting a cases colour scheme seems such a waste imo, however if you do it yourself then its not so bad I guess.

Am I right in thinking only metal objects can have this power-coating applied? I just read that part of the process involves baking it in an oven?
 
From only watching it on American Chopper :) you also use electricity to make the "paint" stick to the item before you bake it in an owen to make it permanent.

It does seem to make a very good finish but it will probably add a few mm to all sides as i believe it's fairly thick...at least seems to be on the bikes :)
