Anyone know of any powder coaters in south wales?

Funnily enough, I was looking at some of these yesterday.

There's Castle Coatings in Caerphilly,
Galvablast in Cardiff but i'm not sure whether they do individual jobs.

And Clarke Coatings in Merthyr.

There is one local to me, which i may pop down, and have a chat with them.

 

[Forbez]

On the same, theme, with powder coating, is it something that could be done on the Throttle Body?

 

[PhilW]

What you thinkin of gettin done?

 

[Forbez]

Throttle body for me,

 

[PhilW]

I got one spare, but i need to figure out how to get the port out that was for the original EVAP line. Might drill and tap and put a nice bolt in place.

 

[nogutsnoglory]

phil does the mesh cover the holes under the fog lights too or does it just cover the gap with the fmic?
I imagine you have to take the bumper off to fit (lol scared of scratching it so just tryin to be lazy)

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Just the gap for fmic

 

[rogers]
