I have powdercoated a few bits and bobs over the past few months.
These pics are some carby bits that I did in flat black, and the brake calipers. The calipers I painted black before I got the powdercoat gun, so I re-did them to match the forks.
Baz your comment "6 cans of beam" made me wonder what you were talking about...
So I went searching and whatdoyaknow Jim Beam and coke in a can! Handy! http://www.liquorhomedelivery.com.au/showProduct/PREMIXES/PREMIX+BOURBON/24690
carb parts look sick. how did u 'tape' off the mating surfaces? or just spray them on some glass or something?
What powder guns are you guys using?
How big of an air compressor is needed?
I scrunch up little balls of newspaper to stick in threaded holes, for places like where the choke assembly screws in. And tape over the gasket surfaces, just to play it nice and safe.
I got another stock pumpkin I should give a try coating. Wonder what I can hang it by. It's a heavy little sucker even with the ring out. Guess I need to figure what I better tape off first too. I took a photo of mine where there is some factory measurements. Was wondering if you did the same? Pics are before and after media blasting. When in doubt...Gas it !!!
