SO glad it's gloss black and not flat. So much better!!

 

[bttrfngrz]

hey bttrfngrz,

what prep work did you have to do? Did you sand off or strip the old finish? also, what'd you do about fuel in the frame to make it safe to bake the powdercoat? you just drain it as dry as possible and use an air compressor to evacuate the vapors?

 

[bttrfngrz]

well i sand blasted it(made sure the dirt didn't get into the tank.) i had the bike completely topped off before i drained it(less active vapor). then i let it sit fully open a couple nights in my garage.

[bttrfngrz]
