Motor bike refurb

Post by Majestic Creek »

I am refurbishing an old Honda Phantom as a pastime and want to know where the best place in Hua Hin is to do paintwork. The tank, mud guards and other steel fittings need painting, but not sure if powder coating is the better option, if possible.
Maybe just a good spray shop that specialises in this type of work would be alright.
Also, some chromework is in need of replating too, if anyone knows the best way to bet this done.
Any advice on contacts in the Hua Hin area for refurb work would be greatly appreciated.

For chrome plating check here:

Powder coating is good if done correctly, but I doubt that there is anywhere locally. Try asking at one of the motorbike places along the Klong Rd, some of them must be either doing the painting or sending parts out for powder coating.
