I got lucky and my pops hooked me up with some almost new wild 1 Chubbies 14 inch hangers. They are chrome, and Id like them to match my all black Forty Eight. Is there a right and wrong way to get these powdered? I had called a guy off craigslist that has a shop around my location, and he told me 60 bucks to powder them. He mentioned it would be a hard process to powder over the chrome. Pops mentioned that didnt make sense and the throttle could stick if he powdered over the chrome. Shouldnt you sandblast it first? I don't want the bars to be too thick to where the throttle sticks. Any help would be appreciated and tips on how to talk and describe what I need from a powder coating shop.

 

You will be fine. I have powder numerous sets of chrome bars. I typically tape off around the grip area. However I did a couple and shot the entire set of bars, no issues. Powder should only be a couple mils thick.

 

Thanks for the response!

I understand you did both powdering over the end of the bars and taping off. Was there any problems with peeling when you didn't powder the grip area?

 

powder when done right should not peel at all we ALWAYS mask the throttle side of a bar
