Blatman Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Triple S Powdercoating in Bingley (I think...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 My VX cam cover was done in yellow up at Triple S and they did a really good job with it, I've been very pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell O'Neill Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Going to have mine powder coated too. Black I think and have the spark cover done yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perksy Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Two Coats of Etching primer, Two coats of Primer, 4 Coats of Plasticote Red paint (ok up to 150 Deg' ) Would agree though that Powder coat is the way to go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thos Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I tried Hammerite, so yes I'd reccomend Powder Coating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I tried Hammerite, so yes I'd reccomend Powder Coating So did I, despite stripping the cover back to bare metal, keying, priming etc. it just didn't seem to work.

johnsubaru Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 Thanks for the response guys, Had a look at the Triple S website, can't believe how cheap it is to get something powder coated £12 plus p&p. It would cost me that much for the paint alone!!! Powder coat it is then Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Yup. Powdercoating is normally *really* good value for money. I don't know why anyone paints anything metal themselves on a Westfield. Well, with the possible exception of the engine at any rate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
