#456856 Cprows (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 135 Powder coating chrome black.. 1 Year, 4 Months ago   will sandblasting do the job on chrome to prepare it for powder coating or is it going to be a problem?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #456911 ironman (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3509 Re:Powder coating chrome black.. 1 Year, 4 Months ago   check w/ your local powder coater. IMHO, sand blasting may not be enough. I have alot of my work powder coated. I've learned, the rougher the surface, the better the adhesion. The chrome pieces may require some scuffing/sanding   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #456982 BubbaKahuna (User) Fast Go Zoom!

The chrome pieces may require some scuffing/sanding +1, ask the place doing the powder coating what they recommend. They'll take the weight/thickness of the piece, it's shape & construction into consideration as well as what it's used for. Handlebars & exhaust might both be chrome but the prep on one is nothing like the other. If they say blast it, I bet it's not just to scuff it up. I bet they blast the chrome right off the piece if they can. That's what I usually did when I worked at a commercial blasting shop.   Logged     I thought I was schizophrenic, but we doubt it.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #456983 slothy (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2033 Re:Powder coating chrome black.. 1 Year, 4 Months ago   my powder-coater sb the chrome - i just drop off the parts as is and he takes care of rest.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/02/05 11:06 By slothy.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #457018 JGR (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 274 Re:Powder coating chrome black.. 1 Year, 4 Months ago   My buddy has a powder coating business and when we did my chrome parts we dusted them with the sandblaster; used a cabinet blaster   Logged     JGR   The administrator has disabled public write access. #457437 Cprows (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 135 Re:Powder coating chrome black.. 1 Year, 4 Months ago   Sounds good thanks guys!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #457479 Edge51 (User) 2000 Roadstar Platinum Boarder Posts: 2293 Re:Powder coating chrome black.. 1 Year, 4 Months ago   How about painting a piece of chrome black...will it stick or slide off?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #457488 bigflip (User) Don't bro me if you don't know me.....

I think you need to scuff up the chrome for the paint to "grab" onto.   Logged     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQEqMypDEas   The administrator has disabled public write access. #457491 Edge51 (User) 2000 Roadstar Platinum Boarder Posts: 2293 Re:Powder coating chrome black.. 1 Year, 4 Months ago   bigflip wrote: Edge51 wrote: How about painting a piece of chrome black...will it stick or slide off?
