Not my work I have to admit!

Fresh from the powder coaters. I used NSP Coatings in Gravesend. £70 for the pair. Now I would recommend..........except for the small matter of a two week turn around, four phone calls along the lines of ''Hows it going'' ''ER...haven't had a chance to start them yet mate'' ECT ECT., & to make matters worse the rear wheel has a fair bit of ''Bubbling'' on it. Up close it looks like there's grit in the coating. He blamed it on ''impurities in the alloy'' Which I suppose is the Powder Coaters get out for any blemish in the finish!

Yell.com for PCer's in your area, I would in hindsight take it to a smaller business maybe they would take more care as it seemed to me the place I used was more interested in bigger jobs.

I also had the same problems using NSP coatings, shame really as I got a four-hour turnaround on a braced swing arm (PC'd for £40, which I thought was reasonable), but both times I've used them there were imperfections in the finish, and it was blamed on "impurites".

Maybe they should gritblast them more effectively, but they don't seem to have learnt how to do that properly yet.
I'll be using someone else next time.

Copied over to the Dodgy Dealers/recommends section.
