Post by ianbcr »

if you dont watch the new wheeler dealers on discovery,this company was on when they did a range rover a couple of weeks back.they took the interior trim in and had them done,the results were cracking.they are based in Poole,dorset.looking at the site they do wheels and frames aswell in the bike section,not just the norm body panels.

I have seen the Pazzo levers done with this system........lots of interesting patterns.

I'm not sure how durable the coating will be??

Hi Dropatrotter.

My mind sort of gets drawn to intriguing things like these , so I ended up spending some hours looking for durability properties.

Turns out the finishing urethane coating is good for 400F and has good scuff and chip resistance according to a standardised industry test that I can't now remember.

Along the way I stumbled upon CeramaKote: now there's some amazing stuff.


Cheers
