Powder Coating in the east midlands


Yanto

Recommended Posts

I thought it would be nice to treat the cam and timing belt covers to a bit of tlc; can anybody recommend a powder coating company in the east midlands?

Cheers

Ian

 

EDIT: I have seen THIS company, has anybody used them?

I've had pretty good results with VHT crinkle paint, total spend about £25.IMG_3089.thumb.JPG.a119bd86098be5f9df69e116e76f223b.JPG

I used a makeshift wooden box and a fan heater, but yes you need to get it all hot.

Has your cam cover got any built in breather areas etc that you can't get into to clean out properly? 

As powdercoaters shot blast the parts to prep,and the shot is a nightmare to clean out of nooks and crannies.

I've known a few expensive failures of engines and a rear diff in a cosworth after them having parts coated and shot going unseen inside :down:

good point, it does have breathers, I'll have a better look to see how accessible all the surfaces are.
