Tricolour powder coating - Bradford

[TheBALDpuma]

Anyone from here got any first hand experience of these guys??

No but if you're looking for powdercoating in Bradford, CAS Coatings always seem to get pretty good reviews. If you want absolute perfection (proper show type stuff) then Triple-S in Bingley are good.

Triple-S used to rent a unit I I occupied a couple of years ago, forgot about them! Yeah I have heard good things about them before.

I have had a quote from Ian Jemison up in York - they repaired an alloy for me years ago and I was impressed with their set up. But it's just a bit of a schlep to get there, and then be without a car.

ETA- Looked into it a little further. It looks like bith CAS and Triple-S are a wheels off/tyres off kind of place. That's fine but this is for my daily and I don't have a second car. Triple-S's trunaround is 7 days as well.

That would be enough for me to make the trip to York - who can turn it around in a day.

If you want a wheel refurb, try Trans Alloy Wheels near Ikea. I used them just before lockdown - cheap and very impressed. Can remove/refit tyres, you can leave the car there etc.

Been meaning to ask if anyone has used them. Will give them a shout as the inners on my siblings A1 are buggered and causing the tyre to not seal properly to the rim

Metal Magic in barnsley have always been recommended locally, they offer a same day drive up service.

LSN in Castleford have just done my wheels.

Unbelievable finish £205
They took the tyres off/on and rebalanced.
I'll use them again.

I wouldn't read too much into that, they obviously expected Rolls Royce levels of perfection for £50. CAS are fine for the money, they only charge £1 per inch to blast and coat solid colours.

Used Peatey's in Yeadon a few times, had a few mountain bike and BMX frames done and sets of Audi Alloys refurbed, very good quality, not sure if they are the cheapest or not.

They have a bad reputation locally. Lots of folks burnt by them with their wheels cracking not long after. They're cheap for a reason : fine for getting your metal garden gate and fence powder coated so long as you don't care about the finish, but it'll likely end in tears if you have your wheels done by them.
