Currently I have 20" alloys on the van, but sorely tempted to put it back on 17s. Current plan is to look for a set of Devonports.
However I like the look of the GP steels and I think they could really suit my van. I've never had steels on a car before though. If they're properly powder coated...
Hi, I have this bike rack and am looking to get it powder coated. Does anyone have experience of taking apart/getting all the plastic off? ..and then back on again. will i need any special tools for the job?
Hi all,
I recently purchased some lovely 17” Black Aracaju alloys that have been re powder coated. I didnt think anything of it when I was looking at the wheels but I have been looking at getting them fitted and it seems that the mating surfaces being powder coated is an issue. The company that...
Brand New Genuine VW T6 / T6.1 tailgate four bike carrier refinished in satin black.
These have been professionally dismantled, prepped and powder coated before re-assembly using the original type fixings and finally carefully re-packaging in the original box.
Suitable for only VW Transporter...
Purchased from VW direct. I dismantled and then reassembled after having it professionally powder coated. 4 x bike arms professionally etch undercoated and then sprayed. Never been used. Compatible with electric tailgate. I have a 2021 T6.1. I made the mistake of purchasing without realising...
OEM rack
recently professionally powder coated matt black. Been used once since (my MTB has really fat tyres which don’t fit the tracks properly!)
comes with everything it left the factory with, instructions, wrench tool & spare keys.
Stands me around £700 so would like most of my money back...
I couldn’t find another post on this yet. I’ve seen a few T6s recently with the version 2 of the bike rack but in black. They look rad and would go nicely camo with my black T6.
AFAIK, V2 is the one with the wider frame.
Here it is in silver...
Bored during lockdown? Bike parks closed?
Why not take your old rear bike rack apart and have it powder coated?
I did mine, took the painters 4 days to turn round and cost me £65. A weekend either side for disassembly and assembly, nice upgrade.
Just had a set of 17” steels powdercoated in dark gunmetal by these guys in Digbeth for £25 per wheel. Extra tenner to remove / refit tyres. I delivered with all weights / valves removed as they charge extra. Cash only.

Really pleased with the results...
Just wondered, if I go for black side bars - are they powder coated and therefore fairly easy to scratch the paint off ?
Does anybody know / experienced ?
Thank you.
So I got a set of 5 steelies with the van to use for winter, any recommendations on what to do regarding refurbing them?? What sort of price would I expect for powder coating them black?? Or is just painting them an easier option? Thanks :thumbsup:
Hello,
I am waiting delivery of my t6, t32 highline in imodium grey. It will come with silver davenport as standard.
I like the look of the van and shape of the wheels but don't like the light silver of the wheels.
Has anyone powder coated theirs? Mat or satin black I was thinking......
Getting a t6 kombi but it comes with 16 silver alloys -
Has anyone sprayed them black (Matt or gloss) or do you think selling and getting new set better option?
Hey all,
not sure if anyone else has considered this but basically I think the new rack looks a bit cheap and dodgy, however if powder coated it could be improved? Any ideas on the cost of powder coating plus recommended places?
Also i'd like a spoiler and would not mind having the rack on...
