Wheels for a Mustang, in Anodized Bronze (these pictures don't do the color justice, or show what they actually look like in person.. which is freaking amazing)

in this pic you can kinda see they are darker than the pics above show.

Harley Road Glide Parts, black as usual

FZ09 Wheels in Anodized Bronze  (again these pictures don't do the color justice)
friend saw the color on the mustang wheels and had to have it on his bike

and got to do a bit of my own as well.. Powder coated my RaceStar rears for the mustang gloss black.

I wish I lived closer to columbus. This would make it a lot easier lol.

its not that far 

Pricing for a set of bike rims?

helmut Pmd me.  i sent one back with info

Sure looks like you have that powder coating thing down bud.

like i said, im no pro, im just a guy doing it on the side out of his barn.  I hope no one expects PRO results, but i do the best i can.

 sick as always ryan...   still have to see if we'll rock my 1199 wheels in white

i can get some pearl white 

Seems like you dialed in your booth. Work looks great!

i have a few things id like to change on the booth and my oven come spring to make them more efficient and better suited for my needs, but so far so good.

Looks great!

We will talk later in the winter/early spring...have some moped parts/wheels that will need coated.

How are you stripping original finish?

Have you coated over chrome?

Sorry for 20 questions, but your work looks great.

i media blast using either sand, glass bead, or black beauty

i coat over chrome a lot on Harley parts.  as long as the chrome is in good shape, with no pits, flaking, etc. i can coat over chrome just fine.  I just etch the chrome with  glass bead and go about the process as i normally would.  thats the preferred method of coating over chrome.  If its pitted / flaking, your best bet is to have it chemically stripped or however they reverse the chroming process with electrostatic charging or whatever.

unless it is really really cheap chrome, trying to blast chrome off, doesn't end very good.  you need a pretty aggressive media, and chances are you will mess the underlying metal up.  

a lot of my larger or tougher jobs i outsource to a local guy who has a 115hp diesel air compressor and a bad ass sandblaster that has like a 3" diameter hose.  that thing puts some media out!  he can do 10x the parts i can do in the time it takes me to do a set of motorcycle wheels with my set up lol.  i use him alot in the fall/spring/summer  in the winter he is limited because of weather.  he does his blasting in the open. i don't profit as much, because i have to pay him, but i do save quite a bit of time, so ill bring over a few sets of wheels at a time to him.

he did some chrome handle bars off a bicycle and had no issues at all knocking it off, but i also had a set of 80s motorcycle wheels, that the lip was chrome (i didn't even notice, thought they were polished) and he had a hell of a time with.  on top if it being a pain in the ass to get off, he called me and let me know that underneath the chrome (that wasn't in great shape, the aluminum wheel was corroded a lot. so he did what he could, and in the end i had a lot of time trying to make the wheels look good with powder on them.  i had to do some back filling and sanding on them.  which is a pain in the ass with powder coat lol.

Looks great!

 

I'd like to send my kawi frame to you at some point. Gotta make time to tear it apart. 

just let me know when, and what color your going for

that is awesome.  I can see how it would get addictive (coating parts for your bike, not doing the baking).

 

What kind of prep needs to be done to say, an XR100 frame, to get it ready for coating?   ...and  how will it stand up to crashing?

i would prep it just like anything else i do.

bearings need removed though, you can either do it yourself, or pay be the extra labor to do that stuff.

degrease,  blast the frame, do my normal prep of it from there on out, as far blow it off, do a wipe down, pre bake the part to 430 degrees to bake out any oils or anything left in the metal, let it cool, and do a final wipe down before apply powder.

as far as how it will stand up in a crash, its powder coat, its ALOT more durable than paint, but its not road rash proof.

Nice work!   Could ya shoot me a pm with wheel pc pricing?  Or post it up here?

motorcycle or car wheels? size? color?

shoot me a PM with what your wanting done.

Greats work Hobs!

thanks man

thanks!

i can get any color you want.

i order 99% of my powder from prismaticpowder.com

go on the site and see what you like

I'm working.
been pretty busy lately with the powder coating. (some of the last pictures are from the summer/fall)

i got my flywheel and ARP bolts in, but still haven't installed my clutch lol.


but i did pick up these..

DSS 1400HP half shafts, shouldn't have an issues with these breaking

Got a new helmet Schuberth S2

you have the pirellis in 190/55?

i have a ROKU TV, RUKU stick, and another ROKU Stick for the TV in the garage.  they work really well, and we use a lot of HULU, Netfilx, and Sling TV on them.  i also have an AppleTV in the living room, i use it mainly to stream stuff off my macbook that i download, or from the popcorn time app.

Awsome car !!!  any et's from the dragstrip ?   I hate burnouts, my truck can do that.  Great power, the rear end in those is the weak link i've always thought...  I luv it !!!!!

the rear end is fine, at least on the performance pack cars, its an iron diff.  

weak links on the new stangs are...

for 6spd cars, the transmission, halfshafts, and oil pump gears (this is all considering your making over 600 rwhp)

auto cars, oil pump gears

there are stock motor, stock trans, stock halfshaft,  automatic mustangs in the 9s.

the 6pd manual cars shock the driveline so much they play hell on the half shafts, especially on a sticky tire.  the fastest 6spd car is a low 10sec pass.  the automatics are straight killing it.

the fastest pass in an auto is 9.07 at 158mph.  hellion twin turbo kit, on stock motor with MMR oil pump gears,  stock transmission with a converter, DSS half shafts, css one piece carbon fiber drive shaft, and slicks and skinnies.  full interior car that weighed 4025lbs with driver

40 roll against my buddies 93 RX7, Street Ported motor, Big Single Turbo, 450-500 isn RWHP, 2800lbs.

we both were having traction issues.  that RX7 Moves out pretty good, doesn't hurt that thing weighs almost 1200lbs less than mine lol.

never had one, but think the mustang deserves one.

the multi is an amazing machine, and all of the "i wish it had"  has been done on the new model.  its a technological dream, and the motor is amazing on them.  I'm still on a 2010, but its still my favorite bike of all time that i have owned.  i like a lot of bikes, i have owned a lot of bikes, but the multistrada is by far #1 in my list.  the engine is sublime, the handling is amazing, great brakes, good seating position.  you can tour all day on it, or do a track day.

a lot of the gripes i have with my bike would be windscreen buffeting, low end fueling issues, no cruise, and soft spring rate in the forks.

the model addresses all these issues and adds a bevy of additional items that make the experience more enjoyable.  

that being said, i know a few people who have ridden the bmw version of the multistrada, and rave over it, saying it is the better of the 2 bikes.  i can not attest to this, but i just have lost the lust for an inline.  the twin just sounds better, feels better coming out of corners, and the noise of the L twin is just amazing.   you could saying I'm bias on this for sure, but again, of all the bikes I've owned/ridden, the multistrada always puts a smile on my face.

You requested, I deliver
