Wrinkle finish powder coating in Sheffield
r1_pete - 15/9/15 at 07:21 PM

I'd like to get my injection manifold /plenum wrinkle finished in red.

Can anyone recommend coaters in the Sheffield/Rotherham/Chesterfield and surrounding areas who would do a decent job coating aluminium??

Cheers.

Why not buy a tin of crinkle paint and do it yourself.....

I've smoothed the welds out now but I'm not confident getting an even finish on this:

Plenum finished
Plenum finished

Cheers.

I have done a few bits and pieces and if it didnt come out right I just went over the top. Just get the temperature right, be patient and it is quite easy....

yeah it's very easy I've managed it with normal paint, though not on purpose!

Halfords sells the stuff, does look simple. Just try it on some scrap till your happy with the results.

The aerosols are good.....Mine is by Hycote of Oldham.

MK coatings in Shirebrook (ng208sz) made a decent job of my diffuser. Gave them a ring today for you, they could do it in a leatherette /ripple finish for about £45 . 01623 747491
