powdercoating wheels

[firestarter1977]

hi all

am after some advice , i am looking to get my 6 spokes coated. Bearings are out and i can make caps to plug the bearing areas.

What should i do with the cush drive area and where the thin o ring sits on the rear

also i wondered if i need to cover where the discs sit on the front its a vfr front and the faces are machined finish at the moment.

Cheers mark

Any good powder coater should mask up and cover the areas you are talking about, i've had my wheels done and the place i used did it all, i just gave them the bare wheels.

Check with them first, mine didn't and I had to scrape coating off all the surfaces and re-tap the threads.
Which is why they're not in the recommended section.

i have sent them with a friend who is taking them tomorrow , he knows which parts i want leaving .

hopefully they will give me a yes or no tomorrow !

Nice looking storm you got there firestarter ;)

I'm going to have to get something done to my rear wheel - it's got lots of manky spots on the paint from brake fluid as a result of the leaky caliper. Half tempted to DIY paint it though. Would I need to do any prep for powdercoating?

thanks mate ! Will look different with the 6 spokes !

All i have done is remove the valve , dust seals , o ring and bearings .

They are masking everything up so should be good to go when they are done .
