Powder Coating and BB

[g_lamb]

Once again I call on superior knowledge...

I wanna fit BB cups on 2 bikes and change the BB cups on another but am also gonna get Dan to work his magic on all 3 at some point and get the powder coated.

Can the Frame(s) be powder coated with the BB cups still fitted or will they need removing?

Same question for the headset I guess as LBS will need to fit the BB cups and headsets as I think I'm too much of a wimp or don't know the tricks of the trade to fit them myself... 

unless of course any of the MK posse can help me out... 

Cheers all

Best to remove the cups so it's just a bare frame 

LBS should be able to press them back in for you for next to nix but I am sure someone here might be able to help out 

I have a bearing press but live in Perth, Australia so not much help at all 

Edited because I can't spell or type anymore, damn red wine

Just remember to lightly sand the inside of the BB and external contact area before pressing in the cups so you don't chip off any powder

Have you ever meet Dan? He takes them out with his teeth and puts them back in with his bare hands
Watch out for the handshake
