I've never heard of DIY powdercoating in the oven. Got instructions ?

70NYD · 13-06-2009, 10:02 AM

no his parents own a powdercoaters hence his parents oven

Rix · 13-06-2009, 02:16 PM

Well u drive to the sunshine coast,

deliver the goods to ridgewood powder coating
get them to do the job
pay and pick up

70NYD · 13-06-2009, 11:17 PM

something tells me that driving to sunny coast from Melbourne to get something pc'd, paying for petrol, the accomodation on the way up, down and over nite here waiting for the parts, is more expensive than getting the same part plated in 24k gold in melbourne

Rix · 14-06-2009, 08:17 PM

lol ssh your not meant to point out the flaws:P

karamello · 14-06-2009, 08:29 PM

hey rix, does your folks place just do powdercoating or can they also refurbish wheels?

Frankie17 · 15-06-2009, 05:10 PM

marcs_sp20 · 15-06-2009, 05:19 PM
