Snopczynski Posted November 5, 2007 Report Posted November 5, 2007 So, I was jumping last weekend and the old Podos racing +6 swingarm broke. I went into town and had it welded up with stainless and fixed it, but need to know rteplace some broken, scratched and bent components on the bike. As well as have the swingarm refinished. Anyone know if powdercoat will stick to stainless steel? Another pic link Squat Stance Link! Quote

I wood not power coat if the person that welled it used a Tig it wont or should not rust. So just polish it back up and run it. p.s if it is chromed it will need re chromed or powder coated Quote

I want to know if powdercoat can be applied to stainless. Quote

Snopczynski Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Posted November 5, 2007 Well its applied eletro-magnetically. So I think as long as the stainless will conduct, the powder will stick. Quote

Snopczynski Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Posted November 5, 2007 This and the chrome peeling off around the rear carrier bolt clamp piece. I figure if I strip it down, go back over all the remaining welds and powdercoat it, I should be good from here on out. I am not exactly sky high jumpingh my bike, but that swingarm gets fairly abused. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 pc will stick to almost anything.... thoe podos are known for being a POS. if you can afford it id buy a differant one... call those fukers and see if they will replace it... Quote
