Refinish my bike
 

On powder coating I hear it cost about 100.00 for most bicycle. But I think its worth it my self.And you need to take ever thing off the bike they just need the frame only.Good luck

Do you think that would include sand blasting the frame to remove old finish**********

Yes thats what I have been told all they need is the frame and they will do the rest for you not bad if you like your bicycle that much.When times comes I will do the same to my LHT but that will be a long time I hope.

I had my V-Rex powder-coated in about '04. My cost was $75 for two coats of color and a clear coat. It came out looking very nice. It would have cost $30 more to have them strip the frame. I think I got a deal, though; that's the lowest price I've heard anyone quote.

The Emron paint that the bike was finished in was pretty chip resistant unless the bike took a real serious blow. Do you feel like your powder coat is a pretty hard finish? I am sure that costs have gone up some since 04 but even so I would pay $100 to $125 and think that would be reasonable.

I had an old frame powder coated about a year ago. It was about $125 or so for one plain coat, including stripping off the old finish. I paid $50 extra for a metallic/candy finish, which looks great.

If your bike frame has steel lugs, you might want to make sure you're going to a powder coater who is experienced in doing bicycles. If they put the finish on too thick, you can lose the detail around the lugs. An experienced powder coater will know this.

If the bike is really special, you might want to consider shipping to these guys; they have a national reputation...
