powdercoat prep ??'s plug kit,etc..

[Isaac]

hey whats up man. Take everything out. Frame race bearings...swing arm needle bearings, wheel bearings, and pretty much everything you can. Kinda a pain in the ass but you dont want any parts there or they will be destroyed and you'll have to relace them anyway. As far as plugging off holes....the shop I am affiliated with is one of the largest in california and they plug the holes for me. Some might get missed or get a little powdercoat in the threads...not that big a deal but have your tap & die set ready just in case you have to clean out some threads. As far as the stripping process its a little tricky. Strippng Paint is not an issue...it can be stripped or blasted without affecting material. Removing powdercoat is a l;ittle tricky. Unless your shop has a bake off oven some things will be stripped with a stripping agent/chemical and other parts that are hollow tubing without any holes might need to have a small hole drilled in them. This depends. If its a re powdercoating...when they dip a hollow tubing that is welded sealed sometimes they get a pinhole in the weld and the tube will fill with the stripping agent and cannot be drained unless a hole is drilled....If you dont want this done and they are removing powdercoat to redo....and the parts is a sealed tube....they can have it baked off.....

all depends on wat your powdercoating...whether they are stripping paint or powdercoat.....and whether the item being stripped down for powdercoating is a sealed tube or not.....


good luck
