id powder coat it. i just got my frame A-Arms tie rods and swing arm done transparent red for $240 + blasting. its worth it

[yamahaman623]

where did you get your powder coating at. how much for just a arms, and were they stock a arms

i had sam slaymaker do mine. hes in mentone indiana. no my a-arms are +2 housers

[yamahaman623]

can he do a arms without removable ball joints, or not. and does he have a web site or some way to contact

the only thing u can leave in them is the bearings. he heats everything up to 800 degrees to cook the paint off then he sand blasts everything. its alot of work but its worth it. u will have to press out any nylon bushings and any rubber plugs and stuff like that. and if u have ur swinger done make sure he doesnt cover the edges of the bearing carrier clamp. powder coat is real thick. when i put the carrier back in i had to sand and file for like 4 hours to get enough space back to put the snap ring back on.:mad: it sucked like a champ

thats why I take the 3 minutes to tape it off so my customers dont have to waste their time doing something the coater should have prevented;)

yamahaman623- a arms with out removable ball joints should not be coated. Check out my section if your looking for work to be done.
