Powdercoating Deal for CSC folks

[McVaaahhh]

As some may have seen I have done a whole pile of powdercoating on my F2 project that has turned out great.

I'm at the stage of my project where I'm finding that I have one or two things I need to get powdercoated at a time and I have to run up to Westminster to get it done. A couple of members have asked me about getting things powdercoated for them so I've decided to offer my services to everybody else.

If you're interested you can PM me, or email me at bjmcveigh@hotmail.com.



Prices:

Rearsets - $30 pair (includes pegs & heel guards) $50 including all the levers and shift linkage
Passenger pegs - $20 pair (includes pegs)
Levers - $15 pair
Triples - $20 each (top or bottom, doesn't matter)
Fork Tubes - $40 pair
Wheels - $100 pair
Gas Tanks - $100 (you must drain it and allow it to vent for a week. I'm not putting a tank of gas/fumes in the oven. :D)
Swingarms - $75
Frames - $150 and up. (They're a pain in the ass :D)

Any other parts that you'd like done, just ask me and I'll give you a quote. I pretty much just go by size so if you have a part that's about the same size as a triple clamp it'll be $20.







Conditions:
Please take everything apart. For example, remove the peg and heel guard from the rearset before you give it to me. However, I do still need the bolts to prevent coating the threads.
Parts MUST be clean. I can't powdercoat parts that are covered in grease/oil/road grime/etc.
Bearings must be removed. The oven will cook the grease out of any bearings so remove them first, or they'll probably be destroyed by the process.
Disclaimer:
I am not a professional powder coater, this is just something I picked up to do my F2 project with and figured I'd do a little on the side since I'll be doing my parts anyway. I definitely want everybody to be happy so I will GUARANTEE my work, if it totally sucks I'll give you your money back, or re-coat it.

Colors:
I get my powder from this place up north called Cardinal Industrial Finishes. Available colors can be found by clicking this link http://www.cardinalpaint.com/ and clicking the "Powder" brochure in pdf on the right side.
If you want something special, you're more than welcome to buy it and I'll lay it down for you.

Payment:
Cash of course
Paypal is accepted but please add 3% to cover paypal fees


I used a kind of satin black (~40% gloss) with texture on my F2:

always looking to black out bits & pieces on the 14... what's your turnaround time?

[RYBO]

Wheels?

[McVaaahhh]

always looking to black out bits & pieces on the 14... what's your turnaround time?

Because I have to go up to Westminster it's over a weekend.

For example, I'm going up there next weekend (April 5 or 6) to do some work for myself so if you have a couple of things I'd do them at that time and you could get them on Monday. So, generally about a week.

Wheels?

Haven't figured pricing on wheels yet, they need a couple of coats and I believe the going rate is $100 a set (through Jim's guy at TFOG). I'd probably do $75 a set. :dunno:

[Beotch]

those prices include getting off all the protective coating on there stock, or you coating over that? (like, for example, rearsets)

[McVaaahhh]

those prices include getting off all the protective coating on there stock, or you coating over that?

ALL parts will be run through the sandblaster to rough them up, so to speak, so the powder will adhere really well. Existing powder coat can be coated over top.

[McVaaahhh]

Oh yeah, this does not have to be motorcycle parts only, I can powdercoat pretty much anything that's made out of metal.

I did the taillight guards on my Tahoe just for the hell of it. :D

[Devaclis]

What day of the week would be the latest to get parts to you for weekend work? Say I want to get a part done but need it back by Sunday or Monday?

[McVaaahhh]

Friday, unless there's a color that I'll have to go pick up first.

[Fly boy]

how much for 4 18" 6 spoke rims?

Also, if you powerdercoat the same black you used, can I go back later and put a clear gloss over powerdercoat?

[McVaaahhh]

Bumping this up.

I'm heading up to do some powdercoating on Saturday. If you want anything done this weekend and you want a color other than the black texture that I currently have you must get me your parts tomorrow.

[Slo1299]

damn i may have to contact you about doing many parts on my busa...... bigger project for a later time. Wheels, frame, extended and maybe even the stock swing arm, levers, triples, other little odds and end pieces....

[merlotSV]

I will have some stuff for you in a couple of weeks. I want to do rearsets, passenger pegs, triples and forks if I can. I will let you know!

Sounds good, that'll be about the time when I'm ready to go back up there. I'll post up again as I get closer to the time.

[merlotSV]

Do you know if I will have to remove the inner tube from the outer on my forks for them to be coated? Im guess the inner tube cant be done via powdercoat?

[McVaaahhh]

Do you know if I will have to remove the inner tube from the outer on my forks for them to be coated? Im guess the inner tube cant be done via powdercoat?


I would recommend splitting them apart for a couple of reasons.

1) The oven temp will probably destroy the rubber seals anyway
2) Powdercoating isn't exactly a precision science so it'd be pretty tough keeping it off the inner.
3) Oven would also probably boil the fork oil and cause problems theres.




I can definitely try and do the whole thing and tape-off the inner tube, but I'm going to have to declare no fault if your forks look pretty put work for shit. :)

[Cassius32]

U still doin this man?

[McVaaahhh]

Yup, next run is a week from today, April 26th. I was going to bump this up anyway so thanks. :)

PM me if you're interested in getting something done next weekend.

[swademaster]

I'll be in touch with you later in the week.

[SupermotoMJ]

Can you powder coat crome? if so I have a set of 20's I need to get coated

[dchd1130]

Sweet, thats good timing. I have a frame for an old Kawi S2 that will need to be coated soon. I still have some work to do but as soon as Im ready I will hit you up.

[txrc51fatboy]

i have to send my forks off next month, i may be in contact with you then. so i really wont have much use for my wheels.
check and see if you can get the RC silver

[guessinthe2000]

do you need the wheels without tires or... PM me, thanks

[McVaaahhh]

Can you powder coat crome? if so I have a set of 20's I need to get coated

Yes, we can powdercoat over chrome, but it depends on the chrome, it may need to be stripped off first.

i have to send my forks off next month, i may be in contact with you then. so i really wont have much use for my wheels.
check and see if you can get the RC silver

I might be able to find something close. :dunno:

do you need the wheels without tires or... PM me, thanks


Yes, for wheels I need the tires and valve stems removed as well as the bearings knocked out. The oven will cook the grease out of the bearing, effectively ruining them.

[Cassius32]

Dropped the parts off Sat Morn got em back in the afternoon, great work and the parts match perfect. For those of you thinking of doing this Mcvaahh delivers.:up:

Thanks again Brian

[swademaster]

My stuff turned out good, too. I'll put up some pics when I get a chance.

That looks tight!

Can't wait to see it in person, and I'm glad you're happy with the results. :D

^^^ +1 Even does a hell of a job on GSXR parts! ;)

Yes it does. Thanks Brian. Came out great! ERiC

[McVaaahhh]

Making another run next Saturday, May 17 for anybody interested in getting some work done. Need to get parts to me by Friday evening, and everything will be ready for pickup on Saturday evening.


Pimp your bike out a bit for the NOOB Ride. :D


I'm thrilled everyone is happy with their results, lemme know if you need anything else.

[konichd]

Brian, I'm addicted to powdercoating! I have a hanger I need done now :)

[McVaaahhh]

Bumping up for this weekends run - May 17.

[salsashark]

looking at all those pics definitely gives me ideas for Lizzie... nice work.

[merlin]

You still doing powdercoating?

As soon as I get my Honda sold, I am going to be looking at getting the Buell's wheels coated black. At least the wheels, maybe a few other small parts (top triple, bars, rearsets, etc).

Honda is on Craigslist now, and it's probably going on ebay by the end of the week, so I'm looking at being ready to pull the trigger in a couple weeks.

What's the turnaround time?

Merlyn

[McVaaahhh]

Typical turnaround time is one day for small parts like rearsets, that sort of thing.

I only do the work on the weekends so as long as you got your parts to me during the week you could have 'em back Saturday or Sunday.


Looking at making a run the weekend of August 9th, and that will probably be the last time until the season's over.

[konichd]

Brian, I have some stuff for you :)

[McVaaahhh]

:up:

[swademaster]

I have a set of wheels for you to do too. It probably won't happen until this fall, unless I use up the tires next weekend at the track.

[SVCliff]

Sweet. I have some silver bits that need blackend. Do you have a flat black or semi-gloss black? Any samples so I could see which color would be closer to my frame?

[McVaaahhh]

The rearsets on the gixxer at the top of this page is the semi gloss. All of the stuff on my CBR on the first page is a flat black with a small bit of texture in it.

[swademaster]

Brian, will you be doing any parts this weekend?

[McVaaahhh]

Brian, will you be doing any parts this weekend?

Yup. PM me if ya need something.

[Xtremjeepn]

Picked up the frame and misc parts from Brian today.
Body work is at the paint shop still.
Time to start putting it back together.
Pictures were taken at 10:00PM in my garage so not the best lighting. (and my stained orange floor does not help the colors)
Frame/subframe and wheels are a champaign gold. Everything else is a textured black.

Brian did a great job!

[T-Dub]

I'll be doing quite a bit of this over the winter. I am going to do a complete teardown, paint, polish, and powdercoating. I am not really looking forward to it.

[Xtremjeepn]

It's been a fun project so far. Since I have the 2 other bikes it is easy to do in the summer.

[highpsi03]

How much to powdercoat a set of my 16" wheels on my eclipse?

[BlueDevil]

Ill be in touch shortly... I want some rearsets, pass pegs, and a swing arm done for an R6...

What's on them now?

I probably won't be able to do another run until November. My schedule is getting pretty packed (I'm getting married in Oct.) If you can't wait let me know and maybe I'll have a free weekend sometime between now and then.

I don't know anything about annodizing, but we can definitely do the gold for ya. Maybe Cole can post some better, in focus, pictures for you. :D

As far as paint, just search around on here there are quite a few folks that do painting. I think DBerns' dad does.

[Xtremjeepn]

I will post some better pics soon.


Need to get the parts out in the sun to take some nice clear pics.

[highpsi03]

Black spray paint is on them now.

Sweet beasties, that looks nice! I may have to get my wheels done... Because Yamaha put out the '08 Liquid Silver R6 with GREEN wheels... :dunno: idk..

[Lurch]

Question about p-coating. Can you coat over chrome or does it need to be removed first. Second if you can coat over chrome does it have to be perfect or will the coating fill in the pits?

Yes you can coat over chrome.

As for filling in the pits, it depends on how big the pits are and what powder is used. For really small pits, shouldn't be a problem.

[Lurch]

Sweet as soon as I get my garage done and the car torn apart I will look you up for some coating.

[McVaaahhh]

At this rate, it's going to be a busy winter...

U got PM ..

[Xtremjeepn]

Picked up the body work from paint today. Matt's guysat M&M in Aurora, CO did a awesome job. Paint is actually a 2008 Porsche Color.

There is no way my camera is going to do this paint any justice. But here it is anyway.

(Still waiting on a bearing to be able to assemble the swingarm and the rest of the bike).

[T-Dub]

What kinda deal could you cut me for p-coating a frame, subframe, wheels, top triple, swingarm, and three brake calipers, all in a bright red? It's for a 1999 GSXR 750. No hurry, just need it done before April.

[derekm]

wow! I know where to go if I ever need stuff pc'd

[Frosty]

McVaaahhh:
I like how you work has turned out. Looks really good!
I was trying to find a gold that would match anodized gold levers/ brake fluid res. Is the T009-YL71 the closest to that honey gold color? Is it possable to add gloss to it to get that shine?
Thanks for you expertise!
Frosty

[McVaaahhh]

There's a couple of yellows that I can order from here that might be close:

http://www.caswellplating.com/powder/powder_colors.html

or this one:

http://www.rohmhaas.com/wcm/products/product_detail.page?product-line=1120028&product=1121381&application=1120039

Lemme know if either of those will work for you, if not we may be able to custom order a color.

Thanks,
Brian

[Frosty]

That candy gold looks close.
But that Sparkle Granny Smith or psyco lime would really blow peoples minds!!!

On that second one it's hard to tell. Might just be the picture but it looks very flat and too brown.

[MetaLord 9]

Great freak'n job on my pegs & guards Brian! They look like the the bike was made to be that way!

I def recommend McVahhhhh for all your powder coat'n needs!

[Craven_Morehead]

Is this still going on? With the winter around the corner, I am getting ready to tear the bike down and need some stuff powder coated. I just want to powdercoat the spokes and hub on the rims but leave the lip polished, is that possible ? Lemme know...thanks!

[Webman]

I might also be interested in doing this. I would love to do my pegs, and brake & shifter foot levers.

Are you doing them nipple pink like we talked about ? :slappers:

[Webman]

But of course... pink and black are so HOT together!

[BeoBe]

yea how much for some car wheels if you will do them.?

[McVaaahhh]

Yup still doing powdercoating.

I'll be putting a post up here in the next couple of days with the next date for powdercoating so stay tuned. :up:
