powder coating parts

[LOCSTA]

I'm going to be powder coating some small parts that are listed below and was wondering if there are any other small parts that would look good done. I'm doing them bright gloss red like the shocks on my bike.

kick start lever
shifter lever
clutch handle
brake handle
brake pedal
gas cap
axle nuts
rear sprocket mount
hubs
tie rods

sounds good. You can also do the wheelie bar.

Sounds good to me however make sure to tape of some areas such as the splines on the kick start lever, and where the levers meet the actual leverbody. Just a tip when installing the axle nuts, wrap them in a few good layers of electrical tape so you dont mess up the PC. Good luck!

why not do the carrier and grab bar?

and isn't the stock gas cap plastic?

If they don't mask of the threads on the axle nut, you well have a hard time getting it back on. It may be a little hard getting the Huns back on to.just remember. Any part that was a snug fit before powder coat will be even more so after powder coating is applied to that mating surface.

ya, never PC any mating surface. never PC any threaded surface.

Isn't that kinda what I just said???????????

 

[sheeblast]

i think i was agreeing with you.

also dont put parts into the oven with bearings and rubber. always take the stuff out.
also when putting the powder on, make sure the parts are clean. dont want to touch with your bare hands as the oils will ruin the PC job.

Thats why they're silicone plugs and heat tape...
