I know there are alot of plces that powdercoat. Brother on a fixed income and need a good price to do my swingarm.

 

These guys are really good -- and they sponsor our site TRG Coating

 

I got mine done for 150.. Cali... Extreme Powdercoating But just to let you know, you need new bearings and seals... Thats another 100 bucks.

 

At the risk of sounding squidish, why would you need new bearings and seals? I was thinking of having this done as well, so any additional info would be great!

 

When u get it powdercoated u have to take out all the bearings and seals which break in the process cause they r the lil needle bearings wit a crappy lip on them and r not easy to get out at all. In fact i have to go to honda to put mine back in...tried hamering the lil ones in but they were starting to bend the lips n i didnt wanna take the chance. Just gotta wait to save up a couple hundo cause i know it aint gonna b cheap, hell they wanted to charge me $120 just to take them out (i laughed then hung up on them).

I got mine powdercoated for a lil over $80 including tax in clearwater. Black wit a high gloss finish. Looks pretty damn good.

 

Thanks for the info. There's this place in AZ that wants to charge me $180 to remove the swingarm and bearings. TRG is charging $85 to do the coating. So, that's $265 for everything. Is that too much????????

 

265 isn't bad for it installed with bearings.

they do it for 200 plus i think 65 for bearings.

 

Remove the swingarm yourself, and remove the bearings yourself. Thats easy. But you will need to press them in, and that can't be done at home without a press. Then reinstall everything. It's better for you to learn in cause you need to pull it apart again.

 

Here is an idea Sears has a Craftsman powdercoating gun that is $150 and the paint is $6 a can and you can sray the part put it in the oven for 20 min and your done. And you can use this gun to do all your parts im thinking about getting one as soon as i get the funds.

Rick's powder coating in Memphis does them for $75.00. Also, I removed the rubber seals and the needle bearings out of the race on one side and lined the holes with aluminium foil and had it done. When I got it back, I used cleaner to spray out any sand that was inside and replace the needles, re greased, and put the rubber seals back in. Got quite a few miles on it and no problem.
