Powdercoating small pieces

Hi all

Does anyone know where I can get a few small aluminium brackets powdercoated by "mail order" in the UK? It's bloody hopeless around here. They're only 5cm x 10cm but very important for a renovation project (1938 tandem for Wifey).

I did anodise/dye them but the finish was crap - need gloss.

Cheers

Excellent - but I screwed up the timing (as usual). I can get the parts to you middle of next week for coating on Tuesday 17th. As long as I can get them back by Saturday 21st I'll be fine. Does that sound feasible?

Incidentally, they are clean and anodised. I can also alkaline strip them if that's better

If the timing is too tight, I'll just give them a coat of Rally Black for "presentation" and get them coated the week after?

Huge thanks to all of you for your advice and offers of help. Thanks Nakatanenga.

Special thanks to Markus (Brentrup) at Offroad-Tec for taking care of this extremely fast. The finish is just as excellent as on your hinges
