Lester mags... top tips needed
« on: June 20, 2014, 02:34 PM »
Alreet lads, looking for suggestions to maintain the raw shiney side/high spots on a set of lesters if they are powder coated. What do we reckon, labourious masking before powder or labourious dremeling after?

What about the masking tape pulling off the powder as you remove it?  >:D

I would wet spray them... then "draw file" across the top surfaces. I would imagine paint would be easier to work with than powder  :-\

Did think about paint as its easy to mask with a liquid mask but would prefer the harder wearing powder. I think sanding after powder is likely to be the best solution  :-\

Is it worth the hassle ? They look pretty tidy to me or is that a pic of their good side.  :)

Powder or paint then block sand after. If the braking surface is bad I would give them a sanding before you paint/powder then work your way through finer grades of paper.
