Ok I spray painted my top & btm yolks a year ago a they're now looking crap
If I strip them off is it ok too powder coat them also both my switches need painting as well
Also does powered coating remove chrome as I have a spare yolk in shed ?
Cheers pete

Hi, You can powdercoat yokes. Just mask up all the areas you don't want the powder to go. I've had some done before;  The blasting process that prepares your part may remove chrome. Best ask the firm you intend using. Dusty |

Hi
As Scott says, bearings and anything not heat proof should be removed. The blasting process will trash them even if the heat didn't. I presume you have taper bearings fitted ? If so, if you can carefully remove them without damage, they should be ok to re-use.

Just want too give them it all in one hit thanks powder coat is better, paint is easier. you need to completely strip and blank off all threads for powder coat then remember how to put em back together  |
