Powder Coating Push Bike Frames.

Maldon Shot Blasting & Powder Coating Ltd carry out work on pushbike frames to a very high and long lasting standard.

Remember our motto: do it once, do it right. Our work will last you for many years to come, as powder coating is hard-wearing and resists damage compared to wet paint finishes.

We are very aware that others offer a cheaper service; however, we DO NOT cut corners and provide professional service along with a five-year anti-corrosion warranty.

The frame material governs the approach we take on the first stage of preparation.

Careful preparation is key to a successful finished result.

If you know or believe any carbon fibre parts are present, please let us know, as carbon fibre cannot be powder-coated. However, we do offer wet paint or ceramic coating for these items.

bicycle frame paint removal

1. Steel frames are normally dipped in an alkaline paint remover, then cleaned to remove all remaining paintwork and any corrosion.

2. Aluminium or alloy frames will then be bead blast cleaned. This is less aggressive than overblast cleaning, yet it still provides a good key for the prime coat.

3. Once the blast or cleaning stage is completed, the work is visually checked over for damage, such as cracks or broken weld joints. Should any problems be found, we will report back to you.

4. The frame and other parts are placed into our Phosphating and wash plant for a final and complete deep clean. The phosphate helps further to etch into the work and therefore will give a far longer life.

Prepping the bicycle frame

5 . Masking off, all the threads and raceways making ready for the primer coats.

6. Apply our zinc epoxy-polyester primer coat at an average of 50 microns per coat.

7. Put through the semi curing stage @130d cent.

8. Apply the colour coat of polyester powder and fully cure until both the primer & topcoat have fully bonded to the work.

Fitting of decals

Decals can be fitted and must be supplied by the client. This will require a protective 2 pack lacquer to be applied and the costs start at £90.00 plus vat. Decals supplied must be compatible for 2 pack finish.

At MSB, we offer a variety of finishes for bike frames, from powder-coated special effects to standard RAL colours. We also provide a selection of 2k wet paints and Cerakote finishes for carbon fibre parts and frames, along with decal fitting and clear coats. Moreover, MSB has over 25 years of experience in the industry, so you can be confident that the work will be completed to a high standard.
