  3. yay purple, my car's purple. As for cost, you might be able to find a
    commerical outfit who'll chuck your frame in with a big batch for free,
    but you get little choice over the colour. Otherwise I'd guess around
    £30 if you chose a fairly standard colour, you might well need
    shotblasting to get it clean enough for the powder to really stick.

  6. your uni looks nice..bit battered maybe?

    but sliver i dunno, maybe not for me, i think id prefer a bright colour
    pr something.
    i want to do it more so my unis like not boring with s atndered
    colour,but saying this i think that the blue on the KH's looks really
    nice..and i spose thats a standered colour.

    matt.

  11. I had my muni frame powder coated by a local company (spookily exactly
    the same colour as Toboggonist's). They charged me £15.

    It seems pretty strong (I've chipped it a couple of times dropping it
    on rocks but it's much stronger than paint) and is very rust-proof (the
    chrome was starting to look quite sad after two years of Dartmoor's
    gritty water).

    Not as pretty though because it wouldn't have the sweet frame.
    Look at Justin Kohse's frame for the BEST green, ever.
