Any advice/thoughts gratefully recieved!
Painting is the usual prep, spray & job done. Easily repaired if scratched afterwards too.

Powder coating is another thing altogether with bead blasting, seals bearings etc all to be removed and replaced.

I paid £100 to have both wheels removed, sprayed & refitted. Powder coating quotes were also £100 but I had to dismantle and rebuild, plus bearings seals etc etc. Plus shipping.
