NitroTate Posted December 11, 2007 Report Posted December 11, 2007 Hey, I've seen a lot of you guys have powdercoated your engine cases. My question is, how is the PC holding up to the heat, especially near the exaust ports? Are you guys having them done with high temp powder or standard? Thanks Tate Quote

I have had the bike out a couple times now and the powder coat looks good as new. Quote

Cool thanks for the reply. I figure it should be fine. Do you know what kind of powder was used? Was it high temp or regular powder? Quote
sheerider1026 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Posted December 13, 2007 Cool thanks for the reply. I figure it should be fine. Do you know what kind of powder was used? Was it high temp or regular powder? i do powdercoating and have done several sets of cylinders with the regular powder, they seem to hold up very well, i also can do the engine cases, i personally have my cases coated and my cylinders are polished, these engines are liquid cooled so the heat is mainly transfered out of the engine through the coolant, i did a 400ex(which is air cooled) and no problems with overheating either, we did the head, cylinders, cases, and side covers and it looked and ran great. if u need any powdercoating give me a shout.. hope this helps Quote

Other than a custom color I didnt ask for specific high temp or anything. As far as I know it was just standard powder. Quote

I've coated a few engines for people already too and haven't heard anything back so I should be fine. Have you ever done any with 2 coats? I was actually hoping to do mine in translucent blue so I would need to lay down a base coat first unless I want the surface of the case showing through which I'm not too keen on... Quote
