Animalman294 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 The tollerances for those parts are not that tight. Powder coating is relatively thin so it will not affect your parts. I mean they come powder coated from the manufacturers................... Quote
wood Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Posted February 26, 2007 thanks,hope to have them done this month. Quote
Animalman294 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 I think if you look around in here there are some members that do powder coating. I think one them is Kaotic he did some hubs for another member, but you may check in the general forum.............. :thumbsup: Quote
kaotik1 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 i was thinking of powder coating the a-arms and swing arm,would like to know if after the powder coating is done will everything wiil fit and go right back in place. If the surfaces are taped off correctly then there will be no issues with puting it all back together. but I have to ask are they stock or after market? Someone wanted to do stocks which I can not due, becuase of the teflon balljoint washers. The tollerances for those parts are not that tight. Powder coating is relatively thin so it will not affect your parts. I mean they come powder coated from the manufacturers................... For sure powder is only a couple mils thick. Quote

Think you will find that most people would definitely not recommend powdercoating your stock a-arms. The ball joints aren't replaceable and will be damaged by the oven temperature. Quote
dajogejr Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 Yep...that's true. My buddy has a set of Neon Green A Arms in his garage up in a shelf, that are trashed because it did just that, PCin'g them ruined the balljoints. I had to laugh when he said I keep them there as a reminder of what a stupid idea that was.... LOL... Quote
