Hello I wanted to get my wheels powder coated…preferably somewhere I could drop bike off and pick up when done.

Any recommendations?

North and West London preferably.

Thanks

I had the wheels on my firestorm painted by

they also did the fork lowers on my CB1300. They paint rather than power coat. The items are grit blasted then painted in Acrylic Polyurethane 2 pack. You have to knock all bearings out, and remove tyres, disks etc etc so they have the bare item.

Painting is supposed to be better than powder coating since paint properley adheres to a surface more so than powder, and is less likey to have moisture/corrosion traps form (we’ve all seen flakey powder coating I’m sure)

The only thing against painting is if there is details on your wheels, small groves and such like, painting these can be a pain even for a skilled sprayer as they might be filled with too much paint. If the surface is flat then maybe ok.
