Painting / Powdercoating Bike Parts

[Mr_Caine]

Hi all,

I'm in the process of rebuilding a bike, Suzuki SV650. I have it in pieces and now trying to decide whether to paint or poweder coat. There are quite a few items I would like to do and with powdercoating will require me to remove all bearings, a short list

Wheels
Frame
Swingarm
Rear Subframe
Shock lowers
Yoke
Shock linkage.

The advantage of me painting is that I can do it myself and already have sufficient paint for the project but it will personally take me alot of time to prep, however I can't help thinking powdercoating would be much better and longer lasting.

Thoughts and recommendations for powdercoaters near Gatwick Airport.

Get yourself a diy coating gun?

There is Foremost coatings in Hobbs Barracks.
A coaters in Edenbridge, forget the name.
MIG in newdigate, well they are a few roads over from me, I live in Leigh.
I would be surprised if there wasn't anyone in Crawley, the painters at
Pease Pottage[parish lane?] may well do it.
There is wicked wheels in Crawley, in royce road[where Crawley welding
was], no idea if they just do cra wheels?

There are a few coaters in kent that have been recomended to me, I will see if I have the names.

ElectroStatic magic might be worth a look for you. Tried to get a group buy sorted a while back on another forum but only about 2 other people were interested. Needed 5 minimum for the discount.
