Powder coating in Essex - mark3 - 06-09-2019
I been after having some bits powder coated, namely a cam pulley back plate. i got in touch with a few local companies most of which wanted £50+vat for a chrome finish and £40+vat for black, dam expensive i thought!
Today i found a company called Vulcan powder coating and blast cleaning in Basildon, they wanted £20 for chrome and only a fiver for black, Result!
If anyone needs some powder coating done in that area these are the guys to use;

I took the part down to them this afternoon and the guy i spoke to (Simon i think) was very accommodating, he was happy to take a look at my engine to see if he could replicate the chrome finish i already have on some parts, seems not so i went for satin Black, it should be done by the end of the week.

Sounds cheap. Good result. Would they accept parts from a courier do you think? And send back? Too far for me!

Powder coaters (like most paint services) have a minimum order charge to cover mixing up a batch of paint. But it sounds like the colours you want are probably ones Vulcan use frequently so they can just use what they've already got mixed.

Vulcan are good mate. I've had them shotblast and powder a load of parts for me and have always been impressed.

Might be worth trying to get them on board with a cheeky wee Outlaw discount? :wink:

Sound like a bargain.
I've used Maldon shot blast and powder coating (bit of a mouthful) before. They were quite competitive and did a good job.
They did my wheels for £40 a corner iirc and all the springs for my coilovers for £20 including a 5 year guarantee.

this is the sort of company we as outlaws will use alot i think and if we can get them on board with the club then we might be on a winner.
where i live there is nothing close and the ones i have phoned are very expensive so these soud like a good bet. Plus my wifes family live in essex so even if they dont take from courier i could send to them and take them down for me
