powder coating calipers? ?????

[harriskat]

So getting all my bits ready to go powder coaters and curiuos if I can split the calipers of pistons and seals and get them powdered to match or am I gonna have problems when rebuilding them?

Any one had any dealings with this?

[FBJ]

Ive done them. Word of warning use a descent powder coater

Never chanced it. Like FBJ said. Most powder coaters are doing bike stuff for beer money and i dont think they worry too much about masking off stuff etc. Maybe someone like triple S who are more specialised would do a better job.

The chap I used is reasonably local and well priced he took great care and made sure all areas masked off well.

did your bloke want the pistons as well fossie? triple s ask for the pistons when coating calipers and i was wondering if that was the norm?

curious as i was wanting to do the same...

cheers

Well I am using a place by me called vandens. And for everything its coming in at £200 and choice of colours too. And the bonus is the lad who does all the work is a biker. Will give them another buzz and see what they say.

Its my concern that obviously dont get any powder where I dont want it. Or sand from when its blasted

Rossendale is not local fossie. Certainly when u dont drive. This place is 4 mile around the corner

What you having done? frame and wheels?

Everything. Frane. Wheels. Swinging arm. Clutch, rocker n starter casings. Any brackets and other bits that will come off. Yokes. Fork bottoms.

very good price in that case...

I thought so. And been recommended by lads at work with bikes. Will be doing a full review when bits are back
