iTeach Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 Hey Guys, I'm starting my banshee build. I recently purchased a frame, and the entire front end and rear end. I want to do some powder coating and sandblasting to some of these parts, visually and cosmetically they're in bad shape. I want to start with the front end, heres my idea for the front end components. Please give me feedback. Front End Wheel Hub- Powder coated to OEM silver (Inner bearings will be removed along with brake rotor) Tie Rod- Powder coated to OEM silver. (Tie Rod ends will be removed). A- Arms- Sandblasted (NO powder coating) Brake Calipers- Sandblasted (Piston will be pushed back, brake pads taken out, brake line taken out) Two Questions: I really want to get the brake calipers powder coated. However..... Do I have to get the piston out if I'm doing sandblasting? If I just do sandblasting, would I still have to get the piston out? Lastly, for the A arms I was told that they can't be powder coated because the oven will melt the ball joint at the corner which makes sense, so would sandblasting be the best bet for those? Please let me know. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keno Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 Honestly, i would trash the stock a-arms and buy a set of aftermarket. Look at a set of Alba's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTeach Posted June 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 Ehh, I already got em. I got a great price for all 4 (100 buck). They're functional, just cosmetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemeiner Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 you ever seen a nice looking banshee in stock silver? No you haven't. Pick a color, trick it out a little. I sure as hell wouldn't PAY someone to make it look stock lol.Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
