They are pressed in so you will need replace them with new ones after you get it powder coated. The powder gets baked at about 450°F so it has to be free of all pieces that can melt. IIRC Kev painted his with a spray can paint, but dont hold me to it Rod   Logged     Last Edit: 2014/11/08 19:55 By HotRodStar.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #833504 Tykes_Place (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3341 Re:powder coating tripple tree 3 Years, 3 Months ago   I painted my top tree with Dupli-color. I sanded the clear off the tree first, then cleaned it. Sprayed 2 or 3 coats of etching primer, 1000 grit sanding, 3 coats of black, 1500 grit sanding, 3 coats of clear. Maybe not as durable as powder, but it looks good.   Logged     Manuals, Roadwing, other stuff PGR PGT MT   The administrator has disabled public write access. #833544 kevstephenson7 (User) Can't be cool? be catastrophic n' good at it! Gold Boarder Posts: 656 Re:powder coating tripple tree 3 Years, 3 Months ago   Actually Rod, I am quite handy with rattle cans these days, but mate, the top triple tree was done by a mate who also did the speedo nacelle, front and rear rims, and the left hand engine and pulley covers, the latter 2 were done I Matt aircraft paint. One day I'll upload some pics As said before cshmeiser, powder-coat means bushes out I'm afraid!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
