wish my LC frame looked like that.
How much is the blasting and spraying?
I'm guessing you have a regular arrangement with someone?

[OzzyElsie]

got my bits back

Gee, you have your skates on don't you .

Paint or powder coat?

Heck, you don't mess around!

So I got my bolts and fittings back from the zinc plating today, now I can start to piece the frame back together after I paint up some of the smaller fittings.

What did it cost to get that lot zinc'd up, if you don't mind me asking?

[Stankflapper]

$100 Duncan

Cheers... You still using TSM plating?

[Stankflapper]

TSM is a one man operation and unfortunately he had a heart turn and fell into his acid dipping tank.

[BRG1200]

Whoa, whats the rest of that story?

[DuncanB]

TSM is a one man operation and unfortunately he had a heart turn and fell into his acid dipping tank.

Did he come out looking like the Tin Man?
Joking aside... that's pretty bad. Who you using now?

[Stankflapper]

I am using a gate hinge crowd, who said they don't wanna do any bike stuff.. ha. TSM was still trippin on acid the last I heard...

I sent mine to RAD hard chroming in Brissie to get them re-chromed... did a fantastic job, they did!

I have heard of them.

What's a ballpark price?

[DuncanB]

Cost me $350 all up, but they had a slight bend in 'em that they straightened out.
