sand4ever Posted February 1, 2006 Report Posted February 1, 2006 I will tell you this that color needs something to break it up. I know this from experience as this is the same color I used and then had the plastic painted HOK cobalt candy blue. Just my .02 worth. As far as the a arms mine are chrome so I could not help you there. Good Luck Quote
Superman Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 I have had very good luck powder coating Yamaha A arms. The trick is heat absorbant paste. First clean and totaly degrease the arm and ball joint. Then take aluminum foil and make a cone or funnel around the ball joint. You can use safety wire and wrap around the ball joint in the same grove the stock clip uses. Once you have the cone built you need to pack it with the paste, maybe 1/2 ounce per ball joint. Don't overbake I have coated arms with both single and double stage powders and havn't melted a bushing yet. The paste I use is something like Thermopaste I get it at a local HVAC supply company. Be sure that you leave the arm upright when curing it other wise the paste will try to melt out. Good luck and don't settle for non coated a arms its very possible. Quote
bk_banshee Posted February 5, 2006 Report Posted February 5, 2006 Chrome looks better IMO but that guy seems to have great ideas. My powder guy does flash curring. Small amounts of time many times giving the arms a chance to cool. Quote
