Ady, there's a company called Celtic Coatings at Griffiths Crossing near Caernarfon that also do bead blasting and powder coating, they're quite reasonable on price and do some very tidy work. Dave, J&S really are the bollocks when it comes to spraying bikes, forks, etc. I was absolutely delighted with the results on my fork. The paint job and lacquer were flawless. They do a lot of motorbikes and pushbikes and like Dan says, they know the score when it comes to masking etc I doubt it, they just do paintwork i think. Thats probably why they're so good. Give em a bell and ask what they can offer though Do J & S dfo Anodized Finish as well! |

Spoke to a place in Runcorn and they reckon they would be able to Anodise my frame in the colour I want for very little money  However I checked about having my frame Anodised with Jungle Santa Cruz ditributors in the uk and they said it would invalidate my warranty. Not sure why having the frame Anodised would invalidate the warranty because Santa Cruz give you a choice of powdecoat or Anodised finish.  Can't decide what to do now. |

wouldn't it be the same if you sprayed it ady?? I'm after the same finish as I have on my red Hope skewers which are anodised, from looking at various websites of companies that do the anodising process the red finish is pretty much the same as my skewers. |

Have you had experience of this then, perhaps thats why Santa Cruz offer don't offer red as anodised an option on any of their bikes. Don't know what ruddy colour to go for now! What goes nice with silver forks and red skewers....  don't say black ;D |
