A good powder coat finish on a bike frame is like a work of art. It’s hard to understand that until you’ve seen a frame freshly powdered by Roberto’s Custom Powder. I’ve had two frames refinished by Roberto now and each one has been awe-inspiringly perfect.

As a collector of vintage BMX himself Roberto goes to great lengths to achieve the right finish for each and every frame and does so with an intrinsic understanding of how to make that happen. If you’ve ever experienced a bad powder coat job (as I have!) or simply been unimpressed with an ordinary one, you’ll realise just how special this level of service and craftsmanship is.

“We know where to apply the powder, we know which parts to mask up, we know that your components are valuable to you and that you want them to look their best and go the distance. We know that you don’t want to spend your weekend removing tape and powder from bearing surfaces and threads, we treat your componentry just like we would treat our own. We also look out for serial numbers as they are important for identification of frames, we are careful to keep these visible where possible.”

Wherever you are in Australia, hit Roberto up for your next build – the results will put a mad smile on your dial! www.robertoscustompowder.com.au
