HELP: Powder-coating / epoxy-coating frames

[somewares]

anyone know where i can get this done in Cape Town / S.Subs

and at what kind of cost?

[HaydenWilson]

hey man. I am not sure about where to get it done in cape town. but up here in joburg there are a number of good places. cost varies depending on the work that you want done and how many pieces need to be sprayed.

 

It is significantly cheaper if you do the prep work yourself. This means removing all the old paint on the frame, removing any bits that won't survive getting baked (i.e. plastic, rubber, bearings etc.) and taping up the area's that you do not want to get filled with paint (headset, bb shell, pivots)

 

in order to get my jump bike powder coated black, they quoted me R.300

 

I highly recommend plascon removeall. apply, leave overnight and hose all your old paint off.

I had an old style frame painted a few years ago, put an old BB and head set in (the ones that have cups that press in it was) and then just removed them and threw them away after the painting, worked a treat!

 

Maybe helps someone?

I dropped off a frame, fork, bars and stem at Cape Powder Coat this morning. R250 ex. vat.

They will shot blast and powder coat it. Though I did strip all the existing paint with Plascon Removall.

 

I'll let you know how it comes out when I collect later this week.

Why would you powdercoat a frame?

Are you turning it into an anchor?

Powdercoating adds alot of weight and when it chips it leaves creators in the coating and is difficult to touch up!

Powdercoating is good for garden furniture and outside light fittings.

Got my frame back. Very happy with the finish. Only problem is they went and blasted my Aluminium frame! Stripped it so nicely so this would not be necessary but they did it any way, which damaged my BB threads a bit. Its an old frame and fun project so was not too worried. Nice thing is they at least masked all the threads for painting.
