powder coating question

Just be careful to not to go to deep into the frame where the cranks are
put. It may corrode it. If it was me, i would consult a professional b4
trying. Oh and welcome to unicyclist.com my friend. If you need any
help feel free to ask me or anyone else on this forum.

Take care

If you fail at unicycling or unicycle tricks, try again, when you try
again. You will never fail.

You need a good surface to powder coat on to so it adheres properly,
getting the frame shotblasted back to bare metal and then getting it
powder coated would be a better bet. Most powder shops offer this
service as most of the stuff they do would need to be shotblast
immeadiately prior to powder coating.

yeah, it needs to be completely sandblasted, and most places that do
powercoat should sandblast it for you for a few extra dollars

theres loads of places that do it.
i didnt know any where i lived and looked in the yellow pages..i found
quite a few.
so i suggest just looking in the yellow pages and then just ring up
first to cheak prices of them all.
most places will over exagerate the price as they dont really know what
a uni frame size is so think its similar to a bike.
