That seems a bit over the top. Frame blasted and powder coated £200 max and the max on a tank and panels should not be more than £550. Give this painter a look >>>   http://www.precision-mc-paintwork.co.uk

The frame wouldn't be powder coated if I went with him, he used filler to smooth all the welds and joins, then paints the frame as well to give it a real smooth look.  Can't deny it's nice, but not sure how the paint would hold up to use though.

Powder doesn't stick to filler very well  ;)
