Anyone know a place to get my frame and forks powder coated? for cheap ?

reply

I've heard good things about these guys, although I've never used them personally. Word on the street is frame+fork is ~$100.00 with prep.

What color are you thinking of doing? I'm not 100% on this, but I heard if you have more than one frame with the same color, they can do them all at once and the per frame cost is cheaper.

I've used Olympic a few times and am very happy with the results> The frame, fork and cranks cost me a little over a hundred but I had a special color. If you pick a color that they run regularly it will be cheaper and faster, 4 days.

Also, they are powdercoater for a local mountain bike manufacturer so they know to mask the BB, headtube, etc. I had to remove very little paint after the powdercoating.

I just called olympic to get a price quote and they said to strip an already powdercoated frame and get it recoated it would be just over a hundred dollars for any or their in house colors. This place fuckin rocks.

Primo in Huntington Beach did an excellent job on my Schwinn for $75 (frame and forks). This included all the sandblasting and masking. Maybe about a dozen standard colors to choose from. Took about a week. They do a lot of bikes there. Olympic could probably do it faster though.

Does anyone know of a reputable powder coating company in Burbank or North Hollywood or the surrounding areas?

Thanks a ton,

sandblasting will destroy an aluminum frame.
