Ovation Magnum bridge & pickup surround question.

[W1_Pro]

Hello all,

I have a rather nice Ovation Magnum. The bridge and pickup surround are showing their age. The powder coating is largely stripped and there is some pitting/oxidization. I would like to have these parts ( in the attached picture), sandblasted and refinished in black powder coat. My question is, does anyone know of someone that will do this (for a fee of course)? I travel to mainland Europe quite regularly so if any colleagues know of a person that does this in the EU, thats not a big problem.

Many thanks in advance for your help (I hope)!

...and if this post is in the wrong forum- I did think of putting it in repairs but I thought it might get more views here- then mod's please do move it with my apologies.

I've found a couple of places locally to me that do it. Their stock-in-trade appears to be car wheels, so some bass parts presumably wouldn't be an issue. Sand blasting appears to be part of the service for both. Phone a few local independent garages and they might recommend the same few names for doing the work.
 

You might need to know the RAL number for black. 😀

Powder coating might not be the most ideal finishing, but to be fair I'm not sure.  I think most factory hardware is electro plated.  From what I understand, electro plating is more resistant to corrosion and abrasion, while powder coating is a more heat resilient option in lieu of traditional sprayed painted finishes.

Have a look at black anodising too. This is what was used on most of the metalwork of my black Gus Bass:
