okay. who does tex powder coat for 20$?

How many dude ya know flow like that, not many, if any.

[jellywrestler]

Was you that told me it was harder to prep for re-chroming ya fuckin cock gobbler. Figured it was safe to assume you weren't talking shit, since you have heaps of that shit done.

if you'd listened to the full story i was talking about alloy parts with underlying corrosion, most chrome is easier the second time around than the first.....

buy a can of crc rust kill black and just paint it

Minimum is usually $40-50 from places I've seen.

And any place can do textured powdercoat. It comes down to what variety they stock as application is all the same.

i dont get it.

I post a thread. and get serious answers. y'all still in holiday mode eh...

anyhow. thanks all.
i was thinking whatever galv spray they sell now (i know it as galmet) - will look for etch primer but last time i looked at PA10 in a can it was about 60$ which is about 40$ more than i expect to pay for paint for this. which makes me think.. i probably have a 4lt can i can run through the compressor... hum)
, i know how to paint (thin coats) it was more the metal prep i was curious about.

frame is steel, various fittings are this high-chromium/stainless (chinese probably) shit metal.

i'm not going to be filling shit, so i think the etch primer /killrust is the way to go. it doesn't need to be a real purty finish. it's a kids thrash bike.

so far prep has been 150 grit (regular sandpaper) with water and it's got rid of the worst of the rust, bits that are clean get CRC66'd awaiting the heat gun before painting. (although with the fucking temperatures we've been having i could just leave it outside for two minutes)

I'm not in holiday mode so get stuffed!

Good luck with the project though. Can't believe I wrote that, must be getting soft in me old age, bloody KB...

you win, sir!

(actually got a can of some white "uber primer" shit, recomended to me by the paint-guru at bunnings. (sorry wynnF, i wasn't going that far.) a massive 3$ saving over the wattyl rustkill stuff. it's a basecoat, going blue and gold over the top of it (at kid's recomendation))

you're probably just still drunk. it's okay.

i think we're all feeling it. HAPPY POST-APOCALYPSE-YEAR!
(i'm feeling old too, my last NY resolution was to drink and smoke more, drive faster and take more drugs. i thought i was a no-brainer winning idea.
it seems i can't keep any resolution...)

I remember two conversations about chrome, (vaguely), perhaps the second was in regards to fork tubes.

Does that ring a bell?

I never retain the full story though. It's why I'm so good at making a cunt of myself.

fork tubes are seldom economic to re chrome if you can get new ones, and a lot from the nineties on are just muck to even try.
Dont think the poster was talking about fork tubes though...
should'nt you be on the turps now it's New Years eve, or are you Mayan?

This. Or for a little more money use Hammerite, sticks real good to rusty crap... I brushed it on te minimoto frame, nice and thick, not as good as powdercoat but done in the garage for not much money so no complaints. Comes in spray cans too.

[BIG DOUG]

Or you can go to your local harley dealer and buy textured black in a can, good stuff to.

[actungbaby]

Still spouting more bullshit eh Drew! How much Chroming you had done? was it using 4.1 or is that only a brake fluid?

Am chrome plater well was in the 80s hehe nah u just have to strip the old stuff with

Current and acid not diffcult take like few minutes , then just getting it polished with

Belt sander The chrome plating biz will have that, as in painting (which trying do know }

Forks are Hard chrome totaly diffrent process from normal chrome plating.

Normal chrome only looks like shit as its the nickel plating first has the shine chrome is just

Used as a coating to protect the nickel finish well chrome plate by itself looks like gavanising

the nickel plating but on for about 20 mins in the bath my job was to do the chrome Plating

Which was rinse in water after nickel plating and then into chrome vat for like 60 seconds

With right amount current

When did the shoping trolley baskets had crank up to 1000 amps boy it used to hum had pour cold water to cool

connections hehe , then in 90s after move from chch to pammy ended up pushing the damm things (trolleys)

At local pak n save for 8 years aghhhh
