If you want to see any of the work thay have done for me just ask. They have done 5 for me last year and have one right now as…"

Powdercoating does not present an impediment to using decals. Obviously, (the generic) you can simply apply your decals on top of the color coat, but you can also have a clear powder coat applied on top of the decals after they are…"

Duane Waller replied to Myles Peña's discussion 'Has anyone gone with Heritage Bicycles for powder coating?'"This is not thread hijack, but I would like to point out that powdercoating is NOT painting. Powdercoat is a dry powder coating that is sprayed on and then baked in an oven at 400 degrees or so, making it flow out and harden. It is extremely durable…"

notoriousDUG replied to Myles Peña's discussion 'Has anyone gone with Heritage Bicycles for powder coating?'"I find it interesting that Heritage is posting here in response to the powder coat question but not addressing somebody making some pretty legit complaints about the service as far as bike maintenance goes.

Michael Salvatore replied to Myles Peña's discussion 'Has anyone gone with Heritage Bicycles for powder coating?'"If you have something specific you need to mask you might want to do the prep work. We sand blast the entire frame and fork before we apply the powder coat. Any special decals will be blasted but we try and keep the headbadge.
You can…"
Cameron 7.5 mi replied to Myles Peña's discussion 'Has anyone gone with Heritage Bicycles for powder coating?'"What's included in the $100? Does that include any of the prep work like masking threads and striping old paint, or do you hand them a bare metal frame ready to do down the paint line?"
Adam Herstein (5.5 mi) replied to Myles Peña's discussion 'Has anyone gone with Heritage Bicycles for powder coating?'"The $80 included the rim, broken spoke replacement, and labor. It was a single-walled rim, but the mechanic never told me that when he installed it.
