Title: Few pic's of my powdercoated Black chrome HL Turbo
Post by: scary_leary on February 16, 2008, 02:46 PM

Got it out the loft for a few daylight pic's.
As the finish is powder its tougher than 20 Mr T's.
Its a tinted powder lacquer (like pen ink, bluey/purple) colour changes in different light.
Added the black camera strap to show the colour.
Fill ya boots Gremlin Gav  :daumenhoch:

lol, back up.. no, its never been built
it rads longest build.

It was done 6months ago,  fell out with the powdercoater coz its slightly flawed in places. i can give the name off the place if needed.

im sure super dan can do a better job.
oh and thanks for the comments i just need a padset and its ready to finish.

Mate, that looks to dogs  :daumenhoch:

I'd love to know a bit more about who did this, or even what the powder spec is so that I can get 'yer man dan' to have a look at my HLT. You'll see from this link that it needs some attention....

Awesome finish. If Superbikedan can replicate it I'd be seriously tempted to get my Hutch cruiser project finished the same way. Hmm...smoked chrome XL-24...Grrr!

Looking good, is the powder from the same place as the candy apple stuff that Dan has been applying of late??

Title: Re: Few pic's of my powdercoated Black chrome HL Turbo
Post by: scary_leary on March 01, 2008, 03:42 PM

No its from abc coatings in bacup, lancs

he's done a few for me over the years my original blue t/a was their work..
this lacquer was made just for me

the problem was inside the gusset was not really coated.
