powdercoating
Am i correct in saying that people get their rocker covers powdercoated?
If so: what is the process? do you do inside and out or just out? How do you clean it up first (just paintsripper or sandblast?)
Thanks again

Yes people do have there rocker covers powder coated I just got my front suspension arms done I used paint striper then scotch sprite get there rest
off. they come out well.
The guy who did them recommended I got them sand blasted but I couldn’t be bothered to wait the extra time to get this done. Ps don’t get paint
striper in your eyes it hurts like sh*t ware goggles been there done that.

I picked up some powdercoating the other day and they had two pallet loads of Burton rocker covers in there for coating (could have easily pilfered a
couple), as said before rub it down and make sure all the old paint is off and then ask the coater to etch it first, this will remove all the old crud
and give a better key for the powder. If you don’t want the inside doing just ask them to mask it off with their special tape.
