Can someone please confirm or deny that it will be ok to have the left side (exposed part only) of the differential Power Coated with the final drive gear portion of the assembly in place? I have removed everything else. See Image and thank you for your feedback in advance.

Im considering having a set of rotors bead blasted and the carriers powder coated. Im concerned that no matter how careful the prep work is done, some powder is going to end up on the rotor buttons. Would this affect the semi-floating capabilities of my rotors? BTW, these are gen2 busa...

I know there are incredibly bright people here on this forum. So, I'm asking for any ideas to make a decent size oven for powder coating. I have the heating and controls part covered. Any help on ideas is appreciated. Obviously an oven can be bought, but not possible right now, $ not there. An...

I'm kicking around the idea of getting my airscoops Jet-Hot ( aluminum ceramic ) coated as an alternative to the labor intense polishing and the expensive chrome plating, but after contacting Jet-Hot they want me to sign a damage release because they use heat to clean/ apply their coating. I'm...

Hi All, I'm in the middle of rebuilding my VMax and have a few questions. I'm looking for some opinions / experiences on the process of powder coating my cases and heads. I'm trying to figure out if this will work and will last. Currently, I've had the cylinders honed and matched to...

Hi. A bit difficult to explain ; but what do you do when the black "coating" on the motor and on the clutch and brake fluid holder peels off ? A lot of blank spots are visible and it aint' looking nice. Do you use some sort of fire resistant black coating ?

I'll post some pics tonight, but I am starting to get comfortable enough with powder coating to make this offer to forum members. I've done my scoops, fork tubes, calipers, master cylinders, triple trees, turn signal bracket, handlebar clamp, sissy bar, and body panels. Here's how it'll work...

I know some of you have powder coated your clutch and brake reservours, how did you get the window out, I wonder if theres a way to replace them. Both of mine have tiny cracks on the outside. Kenny

I'm using POR15's gas tank stuff today and hopefully I'll get good results! I did the marine clean portion, did a 20 min swish session of that, rinsed it out, now it's got the metal ready in it. I shook it around for about 20 min and now its gotta sit in 2 different positions. About another hour...

Someone close to me is selling a sand blasting cabinet and a powder coating system. I'm wondering if anyone does their own coating, and how easy it is to figure it out and do it properly. This might be a dumb question but can you use the same oven you cook food with to cure p/c? I guess I'm...

Ok my max has a little wear and tear and some seems an easy fix - no rust or anything. My scoops and my sissy bar grab rail are the first things and most noticable to me. I can prob get some pics on here but they have a really bad case of I guess oxidization. Seems to be under the lacquer. A...

Didn't see a better location for this thread so I stuck it here...... I'm looking to get into powder coating in my garage. I've watched a video from Eastwood and it doesn't look too difficult. About $200.00 for the starter kit plus a good size used oven to get going. Has anyone else been...
