Powder coating [Archive] - Colorado Sportbike Club Forums

Not sure if this is in the right spot if not please adjust accordingly.

I have been getting quite a few emails about powder coating so thought i would post up.

I do have the ability to powder coat, I can do very large items like bike frames or car parts or small things as small as a bolt. I can and will do it for CSC'rs under what you will be quoted by the professional shops and in half the time. This is not my business it is just a way for me to help you guys out and make some cash to get upgrades on my bike.

I have a few colors in stock but if you need a special color like rep sol orange or anything you can think of i have a vendor that is very cheap and lets me buy the powder by the pound rather than a minimum of 5 pounds like most vendors do. If it is a special color i will include that into the cost and you can keep the extra powder.

If you would like to see examples any picture you see of my bike i did my rear sets and my handle bar tips gold on my bike, as well as i did a bike frame black for a friend a few months ago. If it is something very small most likely i will do it for free as it takes very little time and im just a nice guy like that.

If you have any questions please ask me on this thread. My only requirment is that if its a bike rim you have the tire off, if it is a really dirty part try washing it off before you give it to me so that i dont have to take as much time blasting it.

Also i am in the process of plastic powder coating it is something that can be done however i am trying to hunt down the powder that requires a lower baking temperature. With this being said i can do Wood and other items that are non conductive but can withstand 350 degrees..pretty cool stuff!!

Yea there is this new product my vendor has that allows you to do damn near everything. Once i find the powder i will be doing all of my plastics on my bike.

I could actually do your house but you'd have to bring me every single piece of siding and by the time i was done half of my house would be paid off with your check :lol:

Mon Feb 27th, 2012, 10:30 AM

spdu4ia raised a good question thought i would share the answer with everyone on here in regards to powder coat.

The concern was basically if you have a heel plate that your foot will rub the paint off.

Most heel plates are Aluminum and alot of people leave them stock silver. My heel plates are carbon fiber but either way.

The answer is:

Your concern is valid when it comes to paint as far as rubbing off but when it comes to powder coating that's definitely not an issue. Powder coat is almost impossible to get off because when it is applied it isn't just sprayed on its actually baked into the parts almost fusing it into the part. I coated my levers and when i pulled them out of the the oven i accidentally touched the tip on the ground, so i let them dry and went to blast them. It would not come off at all with the sand blaster. I actually ended up having to take an acetylene torch to burn the paint off then wire wheel it and re powder coat it.

Short answer once something is Powder coated it is extremely difficult to get off it will not just flake off or rub off at all.

For parts that have a lot of contact on i would suggest using a semi gloss rather than High gloss because you still can fade the gloss clear coat but the color will not come off at all.

I was wondering the same, how much for rims?

If they are spoked rims $45 a piece just because it takes more time to blast them and clean them up.

Solid rims $40 a piece.

These prices do not include the powder if i don't have it.

I had my rear sets powdercoated end of 2009. The tops of the pegs (the bumpy part) has worn off a little bit, but that's all it's done. The rest of the rear set looks just like it did the first day. I've put over 10k miles on it since it was done.

Best to mask them off, since if not you can EASILY screw up the threads by trying to chase them just to get the PC off. Why risk it? Putting sacrificial bolts in all the holes first sounds like a great idea.

How does that work when you have to remove the bolts? Do you score the powder coating around the bolt? If so, doesn't that damage the integrity of the coating?

if the bolts aren't cleaned off with naptha then the powder wont stick to the bolt thusly it will fall to the part that is clean. When you remove the bolt no harm is done to the paint.

I'd imagine, also, to be safe, you could throw a little teflon tape on the bolt to make sure nothing sticks together.

This is the only thing that will fit in between the threads its melting point is 550 f

Most parts bake from 350 to 450 for 10-20 minutes, i wouldn't risk it. My method works just fine.

There's a minimum 100deg F delta (difference) between the max operating temp of your oven and the max temp of the tape, and I'd say there's a safety margin there of maybe 20deg+ on top of that. I'd say it's 100% safe.

Easy test: Put a piece on a bolt and leave it on a piece of tin foil in a corner of the oven and see what happens. I'm guessing.....nothing. I'd be more worried one of the plastic parts you'd do would melt.

Semi-flat black color.
They will need a media blast as they had covers glued on the face and I took that off and wire wheeled most of it off. then I shake and shooked them black.

We've been wanting to get some window well grates for our basement but can't spend the $250/each for the major vendors. I've found some generic grates by Boman Kemp for about $70/each and they come powder coated. If I wanted to have a friend weld a security ring onto the underside for a chain, does that destroy the entire powder coating or just in that area?

Welding temperatures get pretty damn hot and powder coat basically diverts back to a powder form and loses it color at temperatures above 1,000 degrees.

Id say it wont destroy all of it but any area that gets really hot you will notice the difference.

Hey, whats up man! I'm debating getting my two fenders PC'd on my Jeep Wrangler (TJ)

they're tube fenders and have a crappy flat black factory powdercoat on them...looking to do them in bright red to match the body.

Thoughts???

If you get the chance take a good look over the bumpers if the paint is older or newer. If its newer i can clean them up really well and powder coat over the black then put a second coat on because going over black will darken the paint a little.

If its older i will have to blast them and it will run you a little more because i cant fit bumpers in my bead blaster however i do have a walk in sand blasting booth it just requires more sand. OR if they are really dirty i can always DRY ICE BLAST EM!!!! :devious:

A shop is going to charge you about $100 a piece and that doesn't include the sand blasting.

Because that powder coat job looks like its new it will take a little time to blast it off, and will take more than one coat of red to get the brightness. If you want the red to match exactly I will need the paint code off of your door and to find out how much the powder is. I can get any shade of red but if i guess i guarantee it wont match perfectly. Honestly i would go with a semi gloss black that will make it look better.

To blast and powder coat ill charge you $60 a piece.

You'll be surprised at how crappy the stock coating is lol...which is why i want to redo them :)

I'm pretty sure i wanna go with the body color red because i'm then gonna go with some black rocker guards.

Another option, if possible, would be to make the "tube" black and the rest of the fender would be body color red...what do you think???

also, i'd be in for sure...just have to get a few things taken care of :)

Just keep in mind as you see above there will be parts missing after the powder coat job. Sacrificial parts must be given to the oven in order for it to perform its duties. So unlike Goose bringing me things that he probably needs (like the foot pegs) but will never see again as they have been devoured by the oven, just bring some scrap metal or something.

No prob, yea there are a lot of blues out there, for the GSXR i would think its pretty close to the RAL 5010 on the third page.http://topcoatinc.net/img/RALswatches.pdf

What is on your wheels right now?

If there is already either a chrome or polished aluminum i wont have to put a base coat or blast them i can just clean them really well paint and bake. that will run you $200 for all four wheels. Keep in mind they cannot have any chunks taken out of them or any chips in the existing paint.

If i need to blast and put a base coat it will be $300 for all four.

Black chrome looks great but if there is not already a base coat they take more time and material.

$50 for everything and you can keep whats left of the powder for future stuff.

If you dont want to keep the powder $40

Awesome, great price also while being able to support a CSC member. I will let you know, it's not definite yet. Wheels do have a coating, but one of the front ones has about one inch of curb rash so I will be getting that fixed.

Yes if you decide to please do that curb rash can ruin the whole look. That polished aluminum should work just fine as long as everything is nice and smooth otherwise ill have to put a few coats on.

I think a regular shop would prob charge you about $200 a rim to do black chrome.

Be sure to remove the valve stem, any balancing weights, and if there is sticky shit from any weights that were glued on please try to get that off as well.

Original color

Chrome base coat (that's right you can powder coat chrome)

Keep in mind this is a single coat of the chrome 2 more coats and this thing would be literally bling bling chrome.

The pearl flakes he mixed in are what really make it pop. You have to see this in the sun - pictures just don't do it justice, but it'll be at MRA races this season. Looks awesome!

Chrome eh? Sexay! Does the chrome by itself need a coat or two of clear?

Chrome by itself its just like any other powder coat it does not require anything to go over it, When it gets to 400 degrees the clear rises to the top and hardens at cool down.

It comes in pieces so, you could do it that way, or after it's put together, what'ever's easier.

How much would it cost to power coat my junk? Need to do something to protect it against the rough service it's been getting lately.

May be easier to do in pieces that way all of the creases get enough powder in them and everything is uniform.

What color were you thinkin?

Maybe a light/neon green or that chrome you posted, I'd have to think about it a bit, I just saw the thread and it gave me the idea.

Wouldn't be hard to do i have a green here in my shop but it isn't translucent like the blue i did for ralph, however i can get some.
