#434495 bmcgc (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 141 Powdercoating tins 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Has anyone ever had tins powdecoated? I think it would run 1/3-1/2 half the cost of paint.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #434498 Crazyron1369 (User) The first scratch hurts the most. Gold Boarder Posts: 607 Re:Powdercoating tins 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Are you talkin' like the fenders, side covers and tank? All the powder coat that I've seen has a very slight orange peel effect to it, so I don't know if I'd want to do that.   Logged     Ride hard Die hard Ron   The administrator has disabled public write access. #434505 crossm/c (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 128 Re:Powdercoating tins 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I had a rear fender powder coated black. It came out beautiful, matched the rest of the bike and had no orange peel!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #434507 Crazyron1369 (User) The first scratch hurts the most.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 4342 Re:Powdercoating tins 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I got my fork tins powder coated. It took them 3 tries, and they still have a heavy orange peel.   Logged     Grow Old or Die Trying...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #434545 Mr_Shamrock (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2901 Re:Powdercoating tins 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   crossm/c wrote: I had a rear fender powder coated black.

Of course these clowns around here have no problem giving you something back with big drips or bumps either so maybe it is just the people around here.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #434593 slothy (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1883 Re:Powdercoating tins 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   my bells where smooth - http://www.qccoatings.com/ did mine   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #434833 Shotgunbikes (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 207 Re:Powdercoating tins 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago   My buddy just got damn near every metal part on his yamaha banshee powder coated and it looks sweet. He also talked to the owner about doing a bike(all the tins) for $350. No serious orange peel problems I think this is the route im going to go.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #434910 bmcgc (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 141 Re:Powdercoating tins 6 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Shotgunbikes wrote: My buddy just got damn near every metal part on his yamaha banshee powder coated and it looks sweet.
