Title: Powder Coating Devon / Cornwal
Post by: waffey on November 19, 2019, 07:20:12 AM: Hi,

any recommendations for powder coating in Devon / Cornwall? I have the frame, swing arm, head stock, stand etc ready for powder coating.

Also, the mounted items like foot pegs etc, are they just painted satin black which I can prep and paint or should I get these powder coated?

Thanks in advance

Good list Graham, spend a few minutes looking at it to see if I could add anything as I'm getting the stuff for my 500 ready for the powder coaters and thought of these.

C shaped mainstand bracket for spring.
Rear foot pegs themselves minus rubbers
Brake caliper
Brake disc mounting plate

Rear foot pegs themselves minus rubbers, were BZP ;)

I would not have a caliper powder coated and not sure what you mean by brake disc mounting plate ? The disc is mounted to the hub ;)

If you use silicone brake fluid, you will have no problem with paint ;) ;)

You can just about make out a colour under the crud

I all I need to do is get my platers to zinc my parts and not put any clear on then get them over to my pals asap and dip them...
Shouldn't be to bad as he is only about 15mins from the platers......or just paint it.?

I have found a place http://www.wingspowdercoating.co.uk/ not to far from me.

I might give them a try.
