On ally an etch primer so it sticks.
On powder a plastic primer.

cheers just got some bits powder coated by local company and they are s..t. the finish is rough and they are the wrong colour also not covered all over. plus the numpty powder coated the inside of the gearbox casings needless to say he only got paid for sandblasting the parts. so the dilema is i have powder coated parts flatted down with bits of ally showing through what primer do i use on that? i am as bad as you he11cat it has got to be right. cheers for all the advice.

that does not help either

I would get the powder coaters to re do it. Get them to sandblast the lot. Then mask off your self the parts you don't want to get painted.

If the parts are still rough after sand blasting, your paint will still be rough, you might want them to do that again Or sand it down your self

When I had my rear sprocket cover powder coated, I hold them to re-do it because they scratched it afterwards.

Painting is no easy thing to do well... I am NO expert at all.


I am just playing with bits , I am to finicky it would take me about 5 years to get a whole bike done!
I got told to leave my primer alone this week as I kept finding little bits I wasn't happy with.

I had to reject a whole paint job on my ex husbands bike as I have said before it was a dog..
It has to be right.. paint makes the bike or car!!

what you want to know ?????..

They are shiny... they are very nice in my eyes .. but you mangle your tank its not a fill and spray jobby!!!.. is new tank or get one chromed.. so yes... that you have to bare in mind ... sticking a chrome tank on any old monster doesn't make it a "Chromo" .. as they have a few little special items..
Often they are owned by special people...

They are also marmitey things .. lots of thats nice with as many oh gosh that orrible...
