Sleeper-Z Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Well the rattle can wasn't holding up to well so I powder coated my control arms (tubular; chromoly). After hours of prepping and then coating, I was pretty happy with the results. http://home.houston.rr.com/tbserv/control.htm go here for pics of the control arms http://home.houston.rr.com/tbserv/index.htm go here for pics of my car http://www.hscoatings.com go here for more information about powder coating thanks, steven m. powder coated rear control arms showing and new wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleMX Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Those look great. I bought the powder coating kit from edmunds and have used it quite a bit. I have access to a big walk in 500 degree oven there so it makes coating easy. Although prep is always a huge pain. Hey I really like the car, nice job!

Dead Roman Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 inless your using some really god awful powder, you should only have to do limited work on a semi clean part to prep it. I dont understand why you would have had to spend hours prepping a rattle can painted a-arm. sand blast em=10 minutes, paint them= 20 minute.

Sleeper-Z Posted June 19, 2004 Author Share Posted June 19, 2004 i don't have the greatest blast box, and when i do blast, i have the tendacy of getting every crevice and every part uniform. maybe took an hour, but it seemed like days! thanks for the compliment, steven m. slicks and paint should come in shortly.

Sleeper-Z Posted June 20, 2004 Author Share Posted June 20, 2004 yessir, didn't leave a green tint, but it did remove some of the shiny-ness from the original color. steven m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
