Removing powdercoat for raw finish advise
« on: December 05, 2009, 11:30 PM »
After some advise please, I want to remove some powdercoat from some n/s forks/bars to have a raw finish, whats the best way to achieve this and what clearcoat should i apply to the raw finish?
Cheers in advance.

remember, if the powders did it properly the steel underneath will have been shot blasted and will be a very course finish, similar looking to sand paper, and wouldnt look right just being laquared... ;)
R.I.P  O.M. Far short of the finish line...

I disagree Sammy.... if the powders do it properly they should clean the bare metal up by hand prior to powdercoating..... frames weren't shot blasted back in the day!

Best if you can get the frame chemically stripped to retain the original metal finish.... then a nice polish up  :daumenhoch:
