Well, I picked up the fatboy lo covers and was going to get all the chrome on my springer in satin chrome to match the covers. Well, I found out tonight that the shock can't be powdercoated, because of the internals. There goes my whole plan for the bike...I wish I knew how C. Numb did the patina on his crossbones....I assumed it was powdercoat....

 

Talk to JRK. If anyone is gonna know how to PC those it would him. **** I think he powder coated his entire ride! Lol!

 

He's the one that let me know the shock couldn't be done...

 

hey brett, c.numb used a chemical to do his, cant remember wut he used but he used 2 diff ones...his parts wur copper plated first thou

did you check out the PC & P section? there may be something in there about it?

 

that's right, I remember that post now....that sucks....man, I was soooo stoked. I was going to drop it off with a local guy while I am in Africa for a few weeks next month and he was going to swap the covers and PC the front end and what ever other chrome he could get to....

 

not too much, if Joe says it can't be done, I pretty much take that as gospel....dude knows powdercoat.

 

Post #16 the below thread might help?

thanks, I am not trying to replicate that patina finish, I only mentioned his bike because I had originally thought he had done at least part of the process with powdercoat.

 

get me some pics of that shock we can see about tearing it down. but it can not be caoted as one piece, was have to tear it down to coat it... but nothing is impossible! what color did you watn to do it? you can also color match the powder and paint it... just an idea
