    Hi,

    I want to get a few bits and pieces powder-coated (not frame). Does anyone have any recommendations?

    Thanks,

    Ian B.

    There are powder coating places everywhere these days, you can even buy a home kit and do it yourself.
    Where (what town) are you looking to get it done?

    Hi Murdo,

    Thanks for your email. Unfortunately I am in West Japan and all the powdercoaters here are business 2 business only. There are some guys in Tokyo, but they charge like $300 per wheel.....

    It makes more sense for me to box up my parts and send them out to a shop with a recommendation, I was thinking East Coast Aus for now as the US wants to send everything by FedEx now, which starts to make everything extremely expensive.

    Thanks,

    Ian B.

    Thanks, had some contact w/ Kadowaki - good shop but much, much too expensive for what I am looking to do. If I can find a reputable shop in Aus, posting makes better sense.
