Customer who needs help

[Guest]

I have a customer in Charlotte, North Carolina, who needs a bike frame stripped which has several coats of powder coating. They are willing to pay, is there anyone in this area who can do this? This is for a professional BMX rider and this frame can't be sand blasted, the biker says that will affect the weight balance of the bike.

Thanks

If shipping is an option, I am in Indiana. I can chemically strip it for him.

...which has several coats of powder coating.... ....can't be sand blasted...... will affect the weight balance of the bike.

Is he serious? Layers of paint weight a lot and sandblasting removes soo much metal from the frame that he is unbalenced?

Those guys are a little "unbalanced" to start with.

Be sure you get a balanced coat of powder on it too...wouldn't want the guy to call you up after and say his bike is listing to the left or something

I have a customer who dropped off his wheels to us today. We have never coated wheels like this before and wanted to get a few suggestions from you guys. I have attached a photo below. The customer wants a mid gloss black. You will notice inside is cast. We are going to outgas the rim before we shoot the coating.

Other than outgassing I was curious if there was any other additional prep or precautions needed.

We just did a set of "fat boys". I had told the customer that powder does not hide the texture & if he wanted a "flat surface" for the SD Wet Black we would need to prime He decided on priming & 2 coats of KL primer later he had smooth rims... just a suggestion
