pfenlon Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 We have a good powder coating firm nearer than the name implies, Its Chicago coatings in Mossley Lancs. I took my chassis to them and within a week it had been blasted and coated, a nice job too. The cost was £150, thats certainly value for money for a change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stuart Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Blimey thats cheap, I pay more than that for blasting alone, obviously time will tell on longevity but it looks good now. Stuart. Edited March 6, 2022 by stuart Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had the diff mountings and the rack mountings plated, 1 small crack on the N/S rack mount a quarter inch only, but best to do it before Coating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nossorps Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 I have just collected my TR4 chassis after powder coating. Took it in Thursday afternoon ready 9.30 this morning. They came in over the weekend to do it as they are very busy! Chassis was blasted, zinc primed then satin black finish. Superb job. Price?£170. They are in west Norfolk but will have to clear with them before I pass exact location. Also for collection was a Maserati 250F tubular frame, unfortunately not mine! Terry.

Motorsport Mickey Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Pete, I take it you are going through the prylosis heat removal for the paint and then the acid dip after to sort the rust. ? Even after the cleaning dip washes and power washing there’s tales of the acid leaching out from seams etc and spoiling paint finishes. I think this is the 3 rd TR you’ve put through Ribble, and although you’ve moved them on probably within a year, you are obviously happy with Ribble and their process. Do they have a better or different process which avoids the leaching out problems ? I’m asking because I keep changing my mind between blasting and dipping and I’m just not sure. regards Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
