tdod101 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 So that 2006 frame I picked up is ugly stock silver and there's some rust on the back end. Not to bad but could use some TLC. I'm either gonna paint or PC this thing black or whatever else, havnt decided yet. Never done this before so what do I have to do ? What materials do I need ? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Pc it. Need nothing. Drop off, and pick up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03DMshee Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Only thing I will suggest is if you have a stash of extra bolts laying around (and they dont have to be for the banshee just any bolts in general with correct thread pitch) is to put a bolt anywhere one is going to have to go back into...dont bottom them out cause powder wont get in there but enuf that all your threads are covered...if you dont grab a 12 pack of beer and a nice tap and die set and have at it...you will still prolly have to clean wholes a little bit but better than having to re tap every fucking thread...

special06shee Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I personally would not put bolts in the holes before PC. Powder has a tendency to build up around the base of the bolt leaving a fucked finish edge. Id just take the frame, let a shop PC the whole thing and then re tap the bolt holes. Its not like it takes long any ways. Maybe at best 5mins longer then plugging ever bolt hole then removing after pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLack Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 My powdercoater put little ear plugs in when he coated it and removed them before he baked it. Worked awesome. No buildup of powder around the plugs and nothing in the threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Paint sucks. PC it for maximum durability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I agree pc sounds better. Do they sand blast it before hand ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astewart Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Don't forget to clean the frame up from unused tabs and brackets! No since of going through all that and doing it! Looks way better cleaned up! That is if you run drag cut fenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwriter Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Strip the vin# with paint stripper first and tell the powder coater not to blast the shit out of the vin#. Some vins are stamped deeper than others. If you're one of the unlucky ones to have a vin that's not stamped very deep, consider having them tape off the vin before they PC. Then spray it with a thin layer of spray paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
