Power Coating Alloys
Discussion
Hi,
Wondering if anyone has a recommendation for getting some alloys powder coated in Satin Black.
Looking for someone in the Ipswich area where I can just pop along and drop the wheels off, then pick them up a few days later.
Alloys are new so don't need a full refurb, and don't have any tyres fitted.
Hoping to get all 4, 2x16" and 2x17" done for about £150.
Cheers
Will

Will,
Powder coating near Ipswich. You have two options.
There is a place nr Waldringfield, about 500 yards off the Foxhall road roundabout. They are quite hard to find as they are tucked up in a little industrial estate up a farm lane. If you want to you can give me a bell on 07886005962 i can give you some directions or meet you at LPS one sat morn and show you the way.
They charged me £120 to shot blast and powder coat 4 alloy wheels black.
The other option is a place called Hispec on the Lionbar ind estate in Needham Market. Run by a really small bloke called peanut, would you belive it!
Have you sold the pug yet?
Last time i bumped into you in tescos you said you had bought an exige. I've just seen a piccy of it in your profile and it looks sooooo good in black! Consider me jealous!
Cheers,
Doug.

Cheers Doug,
I know where the place nr Waldringfield is. I'll speak to them and see if they can sort me out.
Still haven't sold the pug. Got caught out in one of those hail storms last Wednesday, and now its looking a bit worse for wear. It's going to be an insurance job, bonnet, roofskin, hatch, and the whole passenger side. I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up writing it off.
I'm very happy with the Exige. It's actually Nightfall Blue, a sort of purply, blacky, blue. Needs to be the right light for it to look its best.
Just got hold of some forged alloys for it but they looked a bit bling in silver hence looking for someone to powder coat them.
