Hey Pappy, well to start this off... my neighbor opened up a powder coating shop in his garage and he and my dad were talking and my dad told him i would be down there the second i knew he opened one up to bring my fourwheeler in there lol and he alsotold my dad he would teach me how to powder coat and sandblast and all that sooo i could help him out if he was swamped and i could make a couple of extra dollars! well my question(s) are:

1. whats gusseting a frame? how would i would i do that soo i could have him powder coat my frame and how do i prep other things like a arms, tie rods, swingarm, and etc.

2. whats the first couple things u could tell me about powder coating that i should know!

ok, just trying to see where we stand with regards to your expeirence


Id say have a person who knows how to mig weld buzz in any number of the popular kits on the market. not your buddy who's dad has a welder but someone who knows what the deal is.

I cant really help with the oc unless I know what exactly you need help with
