Worcester is nowhere near the midlands mate

Cost the same to post it there and back as it does to do the job.

Annoyingly ..

Thanks anyway tho.

erm...suit yourself.

redditch is a handful of miles outside the west midlands (as in the county). well within what I would describe as the west midlands (as in the region).

course the east mids is 50 miles north of the west mids

Redditch is approx 70 miles from where I live ..

You are quite right, I should have said the EAST midlands.

Sure did, this little lot cost me Â£75 shotblasted and powdercoated

Post by **Northern ANdy** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 9:25 am

so it can be shotted? I've had to have my wheels bead blasted elsewhere before they could be coated. Maybe its just because they're wheels and softer than the frame

i think there is different grades of shot, i've had wheels done before no problem.

Redditch shotblasting also shotblasted and powdercoated these.

How much did they do just the wheels for, and what was the turnaround time?

Post by **masterofinsanity** » Wed Jun 06, 2007 4:26 pm

can't remember mate it was a few years ago but i'm sure it was Â£75 also, and turnaround about 1 - 2 weeks, how long have you got?

Post by **Jamz** » Thu Jun 07, 2007 11:24 am

I need to get that other VFR up and running again....
