I would like to get my 1984 ypvs 31k frame powdercoated in the standard red.
I'm thinking of Triple S.....anyone that has used them, were you happy with the results? and is their red a good match for the original?
Any experiences welcome.

Depends on your location, I used Banbury Powder Coaters, red frame 31k looks superb, very smooth finish.

Kind of on topic but a few friends (and my restorer chap) have commented on the standard of work dropping from Maldon Powdercoaters in Essex...maybe one to avoid. |

Thanks everyone that's good to know, it's going to be v expensive whoever i end up using as I will need to courier the frame from Guernsey and back again so that'll cost more than the powder! There a couple of powdecoaters in guernsey but none that specialise in bikes, so no choice really.

welcome rob why dont you take to your local powder coaters and explain what you need doing ive found that most non bike specialist will put it on really thick tell them you need only a thin coating and show where you need it masking.bearings swing arm pivot etc they arent the brightest, coaters and a step by step how to.might be just whats needed  |

I use a company called Trestans in Southampton. I've known the owner for a few years and they always do an excellent job. Personally though I would not powder coat a frame I would have it sprayed and lacquered. Powder coating looks good but a slight mishap with a spanner or screwdriver and it will chip very easily.
