    Looking at tarting her up a big as I've decided to keep her due to funds and spending more than I wanted on new rads, so......
    Who knows anyone in the merseyside/lancs are who can Matt powder coat stuff?

    Looking at having these done red;

    Plus the side engine cases in black Matt [​IMG]
    And the rear sprocket (is it can be done-in black with the teeth masked out)

    Type of finish I want is like this; [​IMG]

    Don't know about the matt finish but Bloke's had some wheels done which look brilliant, he'll be able to put you in touch with them.

    Place in Aintree called Elite, their work is good but they're not the cheapest.

    Elite are better than A1 from my experience. That 'crackle' effect is paint, I've never seen a powder coat finish like it.

    Hahaha I had to sit down when he said the price, some chirpy guy from Essex-sounded as though he was giving me a deal! I felt the cold hand of the tax man about to fiddle me once again as he didn't say if VAT was included.

    Just the wheels to sort now.

    As far as I can find they are the only UK powder coaters doing the wrinkle/crinkle finishes. It's what Ferrari do to their cam covers so had to be an Essex firm did'n it.

    Does look the mutts when done though IMO [​IMG]
