jacko Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 depends what you want coating. just about every large town will have someone blasting and coating alloy wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steantval Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 As above, they are over the place, just Google your local area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolo Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 What do you want powdercoated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 City powder coasters in Birmingham have done alloy wheels and motorbike frames for me, good prices, good turnaround time, reliable. Quality is good but not perhaps the best of the best (price more than reflects this and unless it was for a £how much! Ferrari it would be fine). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishman Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 I need to get some Stingray parts painted black – or maybe I'll get them chromed – neck plate, knob plate(!), bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I've used this lot since it was called EPC (about 40 years): https://powder-coatings.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I just took the bits (effects boxes etc) to a local firm, £5 later I had a really well finished set of boxes. If you can wait until they run a colour you want it will be cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dov65 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Neck plate & control plate should be ok for powdercoating but bridge...i'd get rechromed, powdercoat can part fill any grooves/guides in bridge. For chromers i'd look at those who chrome classic motorcycle parts... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get the bridge 'black' chromed The motorcycle specialists provide a good service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHUFC BASS Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Get some Hammerite high temprature paint ... job done ! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishman Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 thanks for all the suggestions – the bridge is a Schaller and not the original MM one, and it's just the base plate part of it that could do with refinishing I have a post in the build diary section which I'll link this post to, once completed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had one on a bass, it looked smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishman Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 thanks @3below, I have the black 2000 bridge but the base plate is a bit tatty – I've located a powder coating company near me so everything looking good – just got to get a SR4 neck plate made and I'll be heading for the final straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
