powdercoating flhx tank console
the caoter did not outgass it... if the chrome was crap and peeled like crazy after it is removed it has to be outgassed, i would guess a novice coater out of his garage. but it happens to us all, only differance is we would do it again and make it perfect not give up

I bought the extended panel for my roadglide and went to have it powdercoated. It had a bubble that popped and looked like a divet on it. I ended up having the dash painted gloss black with no real issues....
the powdercoater said it was "pot tin" and wouldnt powdercoat....

nothign leaves our shop with out propper prep, propper prep on this would be blasting and coating, you can not stand behind a finish without making sure it adhears to the part with a good abrasion surface, or you loose the benifit of powder... Cooler no question that way works but it is not near as strong as if it was blasted and propperly prepped first, but on a dash, how much action will it really see ya know... never the less we still have to back our product so we do it right and blast it
Viper, to remove coatings you should chemical strip, as you learned here with blasting it is just too much on the metal to blast it all off and leaves you with waves, holes, or just really messed up metal... also the type of media you use is CLUTCH on what part you are blasting as well as the CFM going to the compressor... when you get your new dash let me know bud we can help you out

I did mine and didn't have any issues and it was only the 3rd item I ever powder coated. I soda blasted it and heated it prior to spraying. Wife got pissed when she saw it in the kitchen oven though...too big for the toaster oven I've been using.
