Powder Coaters Preston Area

[parrot]

Does anyone out there in Rollaclub land have any recommendations for someone to powdercoat four 14 inch wheels?

 

They will need blasting first, but no need for bead repairs or anything. Preston area is convenient for work, wouldn't want to go too much further, but could stretch to Thomastown.

 

Previously went to Yardmark in West Heidelberg who did a good job, but tried to shaft me on pricing, so not keen to go back there. Also went to a crowd in Blackburn once, but after 4 months of, "my dog died, my wife left me", I took my parts elsewhere before they got lost. Hence a recommendation would be good.

 

From phone book I can see Bell Powdercoating, Raglan Powdercoaters & also Colourcoating Industries.

I used Bell Powder-coating years ago to bead blast and powder-coat a bike frame, was really cheap and very happy with the outcome. i know other people who have used them and never heard anything negative.

So I went looking for Bell Powder Coating, appeared to be closed down where I thought it was, so went to Colour coating Industries instead.

 

of course, on the way back I drove past Bell Powder Coating which was on the other side of Albert St.......

 

Anyway, picked the rims up today after a week. $240 for 4 rims (didn't need blasting). Finish on 3 of them is great, the 4th has suffered in a couple of spots from inadequate surface prep which is disappointing. Of course that was one of the rims the guy put in the car for me....... Not meant as a concourse car so couldn't be fagged taking it back.

 

I'm looking for a particular style of Enkei rim for the KE15 at the moment, and when I find them, I'll take them to Bell Powder coating.
