Ok..who wants some powder coating done??

[Strydur]

I am still learning but its going well so far. I am not going to add the service to the store until after the new year. If you want to get in on it early send me a E-mail. So for right now you can order the following colors, some of which I have not tested yet. The ones I have tested have pictures posted in this thread. Dont forget to specify which pieces you want done and what color. Your order may be delayed awhile before I can get to it so dont order powder coating if you are in a hurry to get your parts.

US Blue
Red
Copper Jacket (may oxidize without clear)
Bright White
Solar Flat Black
Sun Gold (may oxidize without clear)
Super High Gloss Clear
Super Wet Black

sounds good tim, but where are the pics at? would love to get an idea as to how good they are coming out.

[DarrynVarson117]

I wont lie that looks amazing from the pics so far, but if possible all the colors should be shown. You have definitely got my attention on this though.

[Soulkeeper7700]

i apologize.. i didnt realize that you would be putting the colors in their own threads... but the red and white, definitely got my attention. i just finished painting a piece gloss white to the best i can get it, WITH clear coat too.. and it dont look half as good as your powdercoating. awesome!!

Tim,

Any data on how much thickness the powdercoating is adding to the diameter of the MHS parts? Is it going to impede the install of sinktube shrouds and such?

[Strydur]

Powder coating adds enough that sink tubes would not fit. This could be made to work by machinging the part first and using a lighter coat maybe. The problem is if you dont put a thick coat then the part will have more of an orange peel look than smooth.

could someone request having that to be done purposely? could add a nice touch on some sabers.

I hate resurrecting an old topic, but did anyone ever figure out how much has to be machined off to make a powder coated part fit inside a 22 ga. chrome sinktube?

1.43 I think

That sounds about right...I just remembered Tim had machined some parts to be PC'd and fit inside a 20ga. brass pipe for me, and I had him do those pieces at 1.42 and it was actually a bit loose.
