onlyonelife79 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 So. I just picked up this banshee and it has all the cascade, matoon, etc billet you can put on a bike, however, the previous owner powder coated all of it black and green. How do i strip powdercoat from aluminum and steel. Can i still polish after the aluminum has been uncovered ?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Aircraft paint stripper and lots of work. Probably not worth the effort on most of the billet pieces. Sell them cheap and buy new billet pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyonelife79 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 so. whats the not worth ? billet stator and clutch covers are around $200 and up each. Are you saying they wont come out nice after some polish work or ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was meaning small stuff like water pump cover, clutch cover insert, handle bar clamp, reservoir covers, etc. Definitely strip and polish the clutch cover and stator cover.

Dixie normus Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Thats if you have a spare shop oven. Lol. I powdercoat so i often forget how rare a "shop oven" is. I use it for a lit of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyonelife79 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 haha. LOL YA. I plan to just purchase new small pieces for the most part. last owner even coated my T5's. I'll at least strip the silencers and polish them. as far as the pipes, well i can probably strip them, but whats next after that ?!?!? what will i see. Rechrome Status ?!?!?!

ginger Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 aircraft stripper a scraper blade and a pressure washer does decent, baking it off would be the easiest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyonelife79 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 So. Baking it off. What degree roughly ? Will that damage the billet where they wont polish up good ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Just FYI almost guaranteed those parts were blasted before powder so its not likely that your gonna simply strip and polish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
