Powder Coating - Good Advice...
"Make two lists of parts, with drawings if possible and have the person who receives your work, initial both lists. Use this list to check that you get back what you gave them. Very important when small parts are involved. Also remember to take your list of parts with you and check together with the people who give you your parts back, that all your parts are there."
"When you go to pick your parts up, take boxes and protective blankets or towels.
Be careful of parts that are wrapped in Kraft wrap, as paper is known to scratch."
"Remember to check the quality of your work in direct sunlight, not interior light."
"Use a powder coater who has a lot of experience with motorcycles. That rules out shops that mostly do lawn furniture and appliances."
"Let the coater do all the prep, that way they must be responsible for the final job and can't blame you for bad prep."
"If in doubt about the finish and colour, have them coat something very similar as a test and see how they do."
