Powder Coating by Dymag
 

For those of you who have stripped down to the frame, or just need wheels/swingarms power coating, i've got some good news...

Friend of mine, his brother works for Dymag, he's currently powder coating a set of 5 spoke mags for 50 quid.. He's willing to do the any job. Reckon £50 is a good deal? anyone agree?????:sing::sing:

Steve, what is his turn around time?

I might have some work for him;)

Any chance you could find out what he would do my bike for?
Frame, rear subframe, swingarm, headlight bucket+bracket+mirror arms, top+bottom yoke. Maybe wheels!
Speak toyou tomorrow mate

:)

i'L HAVE SOME WORK FOR HIM AS WELL STEVE:burn:

Mucka
Either steve or myself might be able to pick up the bits from you as long as you could get to Solihull;)

Dave, My wheels went away tonight, will be back on Saturday !!

Mucka, as dave says, we can do pickups from Solihull, as we're up there from time 2 time...

steve we'll talk in the morning, I can feel an appraisal coming on:D

THAT WONT BE A PROBLEM JUST LET ME NO.THANKS U GUYS,,ON THE SAME NOTE WHERE CAN I GET THE SOCKETS TO REMOVE THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS FROM:D

Hi,

I'm near J28 of the M1 and looking to get my swing arm done in gloss black. Willing to travel and meet up in the South.

Regularly (every week) travel down to London, Bristol etc if this helps.

Wouldn't mind my mag wheels doing......

I'll find out prices for frames, swingarms, plus extra bits like the light clusters. Will keep ya posted......

Yep I can get to London, Docklands to pick bits up.

Just so you all know Steve and myself work for the same company so I can get to see him quite often and pass bits on.:smug:

Yeti you know rob748b don't you. I'm sure if you asked him nicely he could pass parts down as well (he also works with us):devil:

Rob, didn't mean to jiff you mate:D

Sounds like a deal!!!

Can he get them rechromated (Mags) and then powdercoat?

If Dymag do them then most definately. They are "The Boys" when it comes to magnesium.

From the above quote, can you confirm if:

a) Your friend is offering to do the powder coating

or

b) Your friend's brother who works for Dymag is offering to do the powder coating?

If answer is (b), then this sounds like a good deal.
If answer is (a), then it could still be a good deal but need to know more about your friend's ability/equipment/magnesium alloy pre coating anti-corrosion treatments (alodine etch primer or anodising etc).

Would appreciate some more info if poss.

Ta,

Had Steve around earlier for a brew and a chat.
It is his friends brother who works for dymag and is powdercoaring Steve's wheels.
Steve is out and about at the moment, he won't be back untill later but he will be speaking to his mate tonight for me.
Cheers
Dave

Dave,

Got an update on processes involved etc?

I have some Mag Marchesini's that need stripping back, chromate protecting and top coating - how much for these?

Cheers,

R X

Ricky

I'll get Steve to check mate. We'll be in touch.

Cheers

Ditto - TWICE

And again :D

Ditto here for my dymags.
Butch

Ditto here also for 5 spoke mags :roll:

Any news on this one yet?

Should find out some news tomorrow. Have asked all the questions about pre-treatment,protection,coating. I do know all work is done at the Dymag premises. Should also have prices for frames,swingarms,etc.... and should get my wheels back over the weekend, will post pics when they're back....

Do please, we all hanging here on hooks of tenter........

tick tock tick tock!!! :)

Got that info yet?:puzzled::puzzled:

Seems like its Bad news.......:sniff::sniff:

His boss ain't keen on him doing private work, he doesn't mind doing the work, but its gotta go thru the books!!! Also doesn't reckon he can do it so cheap either... Now looking at £75 a wheel (they are rechromated, though)

He's going to get prices for swingarms and frames, but wouldn't go holding your breaths... Don't think his boss is keen for any side jobs, as the work load is high at the moment. SOZ FOR DUFF INFO!!! If your still interested let me know, as its obviously a professional job/finish.....

Rechromate and paint for £75 per wheel still sounds like a bargain if I am honest, I'm still interested

Well if your still interested, we'll have to sort out getting them down to me, you'll be looking at a 5 to 6 day turn around at the workshop. But i'll get them in no problem...

No worries, there for she who must be obeyed anyway :rolleye:

When I last enquired, the standard rate was £140 a pair anyway.

This IS A BUMMER, ah well. Twas a nice dream while it lasted.....:sing:

Think you'll find it's around the £220 mark now :(

Seeing that your not answerd my u2u, whats the situation now?
