Or Frost Enginnering sell some stuff called POR15 which you paint on after Zinc Phosphate, and gives the same effect for much less :thumb:

Problem with powdercoat is if it gets chipped the water can get under it causing corrosion then the whole lot comes off.
But other than that its excellent

powder coating varies greatly in the UK. Its an industrial coating & often sports blemishes. It is tough though & likely resists knocks etc.

Is it suitable for springs? My fronts are a bit crusty so could do with a derust and repaint. I'm guessing normal paint or some hamerite would just flake off as soon as the spring compresses!

try plastic paint should flex more with the spring
