Ceramic coating
Oddjob:
After the amount of interest expressed on the forum re the Ceramic coating I've been having done recently I thought it may be useful to not only say where it was done but to give directions if anyone wanted to drop parts off personally, it's not the easiest place to find so any directions could come in very handy.
The name of the place is Camcoat, 129 Hoyle Street, Bewsey Industrial Estate, Warrington WA5 0LP. https://www.camcoat.com/
Quickest way in to it is via J9 M62. Go south down the A49 towards Warrington, over the first roundabout, at the 4th set of traffic lights look for McDonalds on the right, filter lane to turn right which you need, turn right onto Kerfoot Lane, go over the hump back bridge over the railway lines and through the traffic lights immediately after, at the next set of lights turn left into Bewsey Road, then take the first left into Hoyle Street, carry on to the end, at the end of this road is a set of gates straight ahead, do not go through them, turn left just before and then follow the road round to the right, at the very bottom of this road on your left is Camcoat, it's the 2nd from the last unit.
The range of surface finishes they can do is extensive so be sure to make sure you know what you want and more importantly that they do as well.
For satin black ceramic ask for BHK-1 coat
For gold like the wheels on my project page ask for CG-Gold
For a chrome like finish ask for Cermakrome MCX.
There is also a silver finish similar to the crankcase colour which I think is called ALU but will confirm when I get my parts back next week.
They have also started to do powder coating, I've got some parts in at the moment for gloss black finish, I'll post pics of them and an assessment of my opinion on the finish when I pick them up next week.
Prices seem to be very reasonable and turn round time is approx 2 weeks at present.
Hope this helps.

It’s the Alu I’m interested in. I’ve made contact with Nick Adams and waiting for a reply on pre prep and cost for alternator, clutch and chain case covers. What do you think?

I've already had a few parts done in ALU, however they made a mistake when they did them and actually did them gold by mistake, they took them back and redid them in silver. However the receipt didn't reflect the silver finish so I didn't get the code they used, I'm pretty sure it's ALU but there are 2 shades of ALU, one is lacquered and one isn't. I chose the lacquered finish, it's not totally smooth if I'm honest, it's got a texture to the surface which is difficult to describe. Whether this was down to the surface of the pieces before they were done, a result of the blasting they received or something else I can't say. It might be an idea to hang on until I can test the theory by having something done which is totally smooth before I give it to them. Got a piece in right now being done, speedo drive casing, that was pretty smooth. Lets wait and see how that comes out and the code they give for it.
Here's what the silver looks like, you can sort of see the finish.
Just had the rod hard chromed, £65 plus VAT this time :o :o Last one I had done was £23 inc VAT, not sure how they an justify that sort of increase even with increased costs.

Phil, it looks really good close to, I'm super chuffed with the motor on the 550, it came out superb. Deffo a nicer finish than paint but it always depends on the painter as you know.
