i am not familiar with poder coating. i will search the procedure but on the arms there are stil some ruber things that it is imposible to detach. i assume that it is a problem since powdercoating is made with heat?
what machinery do i need?
thanks

well since you cant/wont take off the rubber parts, you cant do the following

1)traditional oven cured powder-coat
2) anodizing

what you can do is

1) clear spray engine enamel paint
2) infared cured powder-coat


im pretty sure the powder-coat idea is out of the money reach..its pretty expensive to purchase the equipment to accomplish that...so hey! clear engine enamel it is!!

hi ,
thanks !!
what is this clear engine enamel?
is it like the clearcoat over the automotive 2k paint?
is it durable?


with the traditional oven cured powdercoating do i still need the electrostatik equipment or i can brush the powder and put it in the oven? what is the temperatures we are talking about?

thanks!!
