Can anyone recommend a powder coater in south hampshire?

[Neil_Sc]

I have found a company called A1 Powder coatings in Southampton which are local to me, look like they offer what I want, has anybody used them or can anybody recommend a company for powder coating some calipers?

The calipers should only require coating as I have stripped them myself to a smooth metal, but if they have shot blasting capability then they can judge if they need shot blasting or not.

I've used K&N Finishers at Portchester for a few things and been very happy with the quality and cost (for cash) - but always take a few days longer than quoted. They are on 02392 370 591 or 02380 869 700.

I'll give them a call, cheers

Try Trestan Finishers.

Used them a few years ago to powder coat a pile of door handles. No problems as I recall.

There's a really good bacon buttie van just opposite too...

Thanks chaps, dropped the calipers and carriers off a Trestan today, they showed me an example of a gloss black frame that they were powder coating for somebody and it was just the finish I was after, quoted me a bargain £25 too, so I can't wait to pick them up next week.

Glad you're sorted, hope they do a good job. No real positive feedback on Trestan but I don't recall any issues with work put their way in the past. Working on the premise that most folk moan when things are shite, but don't say a word when things are fine, they'll be OK.

I'm based in the offices opposite, pop in for a cup of 'nutter strength' coffee if you like. PM me to sort out timings.

Cheers
