    Powder coating or painting frames in Christchurch?

    can anyone recommend a good powder coater and or painters in Christchurch where I can get my frame blasted and finished.i want to use someone that can do motorcycle frames to a high standard not just a cheap painters that does an alright job.would prefer if I could get the blasting done at the same place but don't mind taking it to a different place for this work but again must be able to do a decent job not just some industrial blasting shop where they will run it through with an old rusty plough.cheers for any pointers

    I won't use powdercoat on frames so use Euroblast in Hornby for grit blasting then go to Industrial Painters in Buchan St for baked enamel.

    At Industrial Painters, specify what level of finish you want - I get a single coat for racebikes but 3 coats with between coat rubbing down comes out superb - but a lot dearer....

    I've used elite as well.

    For the frame - if mine I'd strip and have it painted in a quality two pack vehicle paint. Personal preference.

    They were for what I wanted done, just ring them and price it up
