Hello.
I am after some recommendations for a powder coater in Kent or the south east of England. I deal with a few local firms through work but I feel their prices do not reflect their standard. Please don’t mistake me for wanting impeccable service here. I’m more than happy with an average finish, but not for perfect prices.
I have a mini which needs a lot of parts powder coating. Largest parts are obviously the subframes.
Can anyone recommend anyone in Kent or surrounding areas that won’t cost the earth?
Thanks

Depending on where you are in Kent, Graham at colour coatings South East in Edenbridge has been spot on with everything I've given him. www.colour-coatings.co.uk/Recently had these done by him This little lot cost me £70... partly as I wasn't in a hurry so just said fit it in next time you're doing bits in the same finish - make their lives easier and they help out where they can He's also into his cars and so picks up on things that other firms have neglected to sort properly. Mention that Sam with the Celica sent you his way and he might be extra nice.

Thank you both very much indeed!
I’ve fired out a few emails and so far have only had one reply. £40+VAT for my front subframe which is half the price of what I’d been quoted previously.
Thank you very much Sam. I have sent him an email saying you’ve recommended me, even if he sorts you out next time you’re in for the recommendation!
Thank you for the second suggestion, again I’ve sent them an email and hopefully I’ll hear something back soon.

There is also Baker coatings just outside Ashford as well, very nicely priced and can do large parts as well
