We're off to the coaters next week, (still finishing the smoothing of the welds at the moment), so I'll take some snaps of their workshop & get some details on colours & prices. Our trike frames cost something like 100 quid, shotblasted & coated.

WE use A & C Shotblasting in Newbury, Berkshire, (01635-523775).
No idea on the cost of postage -I'm a delivery Postie so don't have any dealings with the collection side of the business. Probably cheaper to use someone like Fed Ex.
Or may actually be cheaper to find someone with a small van & pay their petrol.

I took a few bits & pieces to the powder-coaters this afternoon. They've got the shade of green I used last time in stock so I'll be going for that again. Hoping to take the frame down on Tuesday cos it's my day off.
One of our trike frame's is usually 80 quid to shotblast & coat but because we've put so much time into smoothing it all, I don't want them to blast mine to bits with the shotblaster so I'm having it etch primed instead, which takes the cost of the frame up to a still very reasonable 100 quid.
I'll take some before & after shots as well as a few snaps of the process if I can.
