Post by: lyle2212 on November 15, 2013, 03:32:50 pm
Gotta give these guys a free plug,      METAL SERVICES AUSTRALIA.     Located at Thornton ,Newcastle.
   Last time I had a motorbike frame powder coated about 5 years back in Newcastle ,I was charged $300.        This time I tried a different place.   I had one motorbike frame powder coated at the above mentioned shop , same model frame and colour as 5 years back.   ,plus 2 more frames blasted and primed plus a metal chair and exhaust pipe blasted, all for $320 ,  happy happy joy joy......

I've used a company here in the northern suburbs of Adelaide , they are called cyclops engineering. Great bunch of people and Brett the owner of the business is a restorer of Vmx bikes. To powder coat a rm 125 frame and swing arm came out at $ 90.00 pretty happy with the result and the price.
