JDP421 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Is it safe to powder coat stock banshee A-Arms ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 This comes up about every 6 weeks. No it's not safe. There's plastic in the stock ball joints that will melt. Some people have done it successfully, but I wouldn't trust my life to stock powder coated A arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astewart Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Nope because like he said it will ruin balljoints and u cannot replace them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_21 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Have a local guy who does it using heat lamps, takes a little bit longet to dry but he's done it a handful of times with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYUK Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 heat lamps cure the powder, but the temps arent as high as the oven, powder doesnt get as hard and doesnt hold up. becomes more of a paint type thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astewart Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 That's kinda what I fig would happen! Got to get what 400 Degrees to cure correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 No you can get powders that cure between 180-200 degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
