Default Switch Covers

Has anyone had their hand control switch covers powdercoated? I was thinking having them powdercoated yellow to match my bike.

In it necessary to disassemble/rebuild the front master if you powdercoat it? Any trick to pulling pieces out?

Here's mine.

Wideopen- yes you have to disassemble the master cylinder. The rubber seals will not take the heat during the cure cycle.

if you can get me a color sample i can match it... yes the master has to be torn down... we do these all the time if you want to send your master in... we can do the full tear down coating and rebuild for you. Does look good! really cleans up the bars when it is all done clean

really dig how clean this color is... with the black grip gives the impression that the grip is part of the bar... looks great
