    There is a place on the Waikumete side of kelston. Forget the name of the shop but the car yard I once worked for used them. One block over from the main drag. Pretty sure their sign had powder coating listed. Might be kelston auto finishers.


    Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.

    A lot of that is in the past and/ or bad pretreatment.

    be very careful who blasts your frame. I got some industrial place to do my steel framed RG and it came back looking like it had endured 40,000 years of Sahara sandstorm. Guess it would have been lighter.
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    A good two pack paint is vastly superior to powdercoating on a frame.
