350TwinRacing Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 I was wondering if anyone on here is able to powder coat my a-arms for me if i send them to you. I just got my frame and swingarm coated bright oragne and looks great, but i want my a-arms to be orange also. Or is there any paint out thier that is as strong that I could buy. PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 powdercoat is your best bet... paint can be durable but only if sprayed on right, with the right tools, like a real paint gun, but itll never be as tough as a good powdercoat. im sure itll cost you some $$ though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoostRocket Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 if they are for stock a arms then powdercoating can mess the bushing inside the ball joint up. some people have done it without problems though. PM kaotik1 he does powdercoating and would probably know best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM kaotik1 he does powdercoating and would probably know best. For sure if they are aftermarket arms I can do them. If they are stock arms I can not, you need a low bake powder to do factory arms. This stuff I do not do. Here are my ASR +2 arms. against the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duner440 Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I've had two sets of stock a-arms pc'd and it ruined the ball joints. Dont do it! It melts whatever coating they have inside of them. I dont know if it is teflon or what it is but it does ruin them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
