1 step forward and 2 backwards today 🤬
Started building the wheels only 2 find a disc bolt in the front wheel retapped at a strange angle
So ended up stripping another wheel to take for powder coating
Some days it’s best not bothering 🤯

Hi Matt, why did you get the swinger ceracoated, was it for the colour or for another reason?

Hi Matt, why did you get the swinger ceracoated, was it for the colour or for another reason? It wasn’t my idea mate,it’s what wagger wanted who I’m building it for It’s apparently a more durable finish 🤞 |

It does look more like alloy than when you powder coat it

Cerakote is less likely to chip than powdercoat as it's a thinner finish. It's a ceramic paint designed for coating weapon barrels amongst other things, so needs to be durable. It's able to withstand lots of heat - far more than an Lc can produce, plus it's unaffected by oil, petrol, and brake fluid - perfect for bike applications. Downside is it's expensive for the small amounts it comes in, compared to powder, but you dont need as much of it due to the thin coating. The other downside is it wont fill imperfections like powdercoating will, so your surface needs to be really good if the Cerakoted finish is to look the best. The fella I use does a lot of Cerakote now, and he does loads of Motocross bikes. Reports coming back to him state it's proved very durable on frames and swingarms - amazing when you consider the hard life a Motox bike gets. You can get a clear coat version too, so ideal for bare alloy. Dusty  |

I've got a pair of ceramic coated exhaust, they're just starting to rust in places now. The coating was a bit soft.
Is cerakote used for performance exhaust manifolds etc.

Looking good!
Love the cerakote finish. It must be even better in person.

Jamie has seen the colour options really increase lately - due in part to the popularity of the coating. Some of it is "air dry", so useful if you dont have an oven to bake parts in. Dusty |

And forgot to add, you can coat plastic parts with it. He has some plastic side covers that have been knocking around his workshop for a couple of years now - they were trial parts he did to see how good the coating was, and they still look good. Dusty |

Yes the website mentions ceramic coating of plastic parts is good for 200 washes

I had a set of callipers done and they came out great, no issues with leaks/rebuilds going forward now too.
I've seen carbs that had been Cerakoted in various colours, they really looked the part and again guess they would be extremely durable too.
