doug Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Hi guys, does anyone have any suggestions on what method to refinish the factory metal nerf bars in? (pic attached) I've heard anodizing is the best approach because it won't scratch off, but I don't know. I think Yamaha anodized(?) blue a-arms on a factory blue bike in the early 2000s? I like the look of them and the method must be pretty good if used on a arms. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 Those are steel. Anodizing is for aluminum. Go get those parts blasted and powder coated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mxjd619 Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I have that same set. I bought industry truck paint from the tacker store, mixed with hardener, and a gloss agent ans sprayed 2 coats from my gun. they came out really good. My frame is powder coated candy green and i think what i sprayed is pretty close to the hardness. But you can prob get those powdered for like 60 bucks.

Canadianshee Posted March 19, 2017 Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 I will have pics in about an hour when I get home of the OEM heel gaurds repowder coated. They are the same colour of my frame in my other post of my rebuild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadianshee Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Thanks. The shop that did the coating did a great job. Not sure if I'm will be running these yet. Picked up a set of AC nerf bars with heel gaurds and DG bumper yesterday off a local add (trail, MX bike). Not sure if I should powder coat same as frame or satin black? but am using red webbing either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxjd619 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Im a satin fan myself but either will probably look good. I had a swing arm painted black (gloss) with purple and it looked sick. Edited March 21, 2017 by Mxjd619 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadianshee Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 I agree satin black is what I will be going with, that would look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
